This tour is a masterclass in entertainment evolution. It proves that you can take a formula—three guys singing about love—and inject it with adrenaline. They’ve taken a risky leap. Literally, from a trapeze.
Plus, it’s a fantastic conversation starter. At work, say, “Did you see that Take Now? The one with the contortionist?” Watch faces light up. It’s giddy. It’s pure. It’s the opposite of boring corporate shows.
One final fun fact: the circus acts are all unionized. The clown has a union rep. The juggler gets overtime. Take That pays better than Cirque du Soleil. Okay, I made that last part up. But it sounds true, doesn’t it?
So, if you ever get a chance to see them? Go. Buy a ticket, buy a hot dog, and prepare for a night where Gary Barlow shares the stage with a fire-eating poodle. Yes, a poodle. Or is it a llama? Doesn’t matter. It’s Take That. And it’s the most fun you’ll have all year.
