Philip Olivier stars in the non stop party time musical as West End show 'Never Forget' heads to Cornwall. Famous for his roles in soaps Brookside and Hollyoaks he is well suited to fronting the stage as a pin up pop star.

Philip Olivier starred as Tim (Tinhead) O'Leary in soap Brookside before moving onto Hollyoaks in the City and more recently reality fitness competition The Games and Celebrity Come Dine With Me.

'Never Forget' which launched in London's West End is loosely based around Take That's launch into the dizzy heights of success. Featuring the bands classic hits such as 'It Only Takes a Minute' and 'Back for Good' the show tells the story of Ash and his mates rocky rise to fame.

The cast led by Olivier has 21 actors, singers and dancers including Aimee Atkinson, Adam C Booth, Tom Bradley, Scott Garnham, Kay Murphy, Mark Willshire and Penelope Woodman. The show also features a chorus of 20 local children brought in to perform with the live stage band.

The musical that began in the West End is written by BAFTA award-winner Danny Brocklehurst, Guy Jones and Ed Curtis. It's choreographed by Philip Olivier himself along with Karen Bruce.

The show is packed with the ultimate good time feel of the '90s 'Take That and Party' vibe and reflects exactly why Take That became Britain's most loved boyband of the the time. It's very much the theme musical of the moment with the successes of recent shows like 'Mamma Mia'.

'Never Forget' comes to the Hall for Cornwall for a weeklong stay from Tuesday 7 July 2009.
