Gary Barlow to bring his life story show to the Hall for Cornwall
Two dates have been announced for Truro in September
Gary Barlow is bringing his one-man stage show that tells the story of his life to Cornwall.
The singer has announced a series of extra tour dates for A Different Stage, his theatrical one-man stage show telling his story in his words, including in Truro.
A Different Stage premiered in February and has since played to sell-out audiences around the UK, including four very special shows at the community centre in his hometown of Frodsham, as well as York, Salford, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
Created by Gary and his long-time friend and collaborator Tim Firth, A Different Stage sees Gary narrate the journey of his life alongside the music from his incredible discography.
The Take That star will take the audience behind the curtain, with nothing off limits in this special performance.
Gary said: “Now I've done shows where it has just been me and a keyboard. I've done shows where I sit and talk to people. I've done shows where I've performed as part of a group. But this one, well, it’s like all of those, but none of them. When I walk out this time, it's going to be a very different stage altogether.”
The show will come to the Hall for Cornwall on the 27th and 28th September 2022.
Gary Barlow is one of Britain’s most successful songwriters and record producers. As part of the group Take That, he has won eight BRIT Awards and sold over 45 million records. Aside from his achievements with Take That, he has also co-written and produced music for other renowned artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams.
In more recent years, Gary has also turned his attention to the world of theatre, composing the score for the hugely successful production of ‘Finding Neverland’; working alongside Tim Firth on ‘Calendar Girls The Musical’; and collaborating with Tim and his Take That bandmates on ‘The Band’, a record-breaking stage musical currently being adapted into a feature film.
Julien Boast, CEO and Creative Director at Hall for Cornwall, which underwent a three-year, multi-million transformation before reopening last October, said: “This is an amazing coup for us. We always said that our brand new Cornwall Playhouse auditorium would see us attract even bigger shows, and they don’t come much bigger than Gary Barlow. We’re thrilled and delighted."
Tickets go on sale here on Friday 24th June at 9.30am.
