Take That @Ricoh Arena Coventry
IT takes a spectacular show to fill a huge stadium and entertain 40,000 people, but Take That have more than delivered with their Circus tour.
Jason Orange introduced the evening by promising “loads of tunes and loads of dancing”.
They didn’t let us down, but what he didn’t mention was everything else we were going to get.
Like all the circus performers – acrobats, trapeze artists, dancers with feathered head-dresses, clowns and a tightrope walker.
Britney Spears is also currently touring a circus show (though not to the Midlands) but has come under fire for miming.
Not only do the multi-talented fab four sing every note, but they dance, play instruments and even ride unicycles.
They are witty, humble and delighted at their continued success, as if they can’t quite believe their luck.
They offer value for money, playing 23 hits in the two-hour show and changing into seven different outfits, mainly variations on the ringmaster theme.
At one point they dress in clown suits and put on garish make-up. With their charm, they make us all want to run away and join their circus.
Highlights for me were a visually-stunning staging of Up All Night, a rousing Relight My Fire involving real fire, and the wonderful final song, Rule The World. As Gary Barlow sang “we’re lighting up the sky for you,” fireworks went off. How cool is that?
Take That continue to party at the Ricoh until tomorrow.
Verdict: * * * *
