Jay Osmond, who wrote the story on which the musical is based, said: "I am thrilled that we have found such dynamic and talented performers to play my brothers and me.
"We saw some brilliant actors in the auditions and I was so impressed at the work people put in throughout the process.
"When these five guys walked in, they lit up the room with their smiles and raised the roof with their voices; I knew we'd found our boy band."
He continued: "It is an honour to welcome Ryan Anderson, Jamie Chatterton, Alex Lodge, Jamie Nattrass and Joseph Peacock to the family and I can't wait for audiences to see what they can do.
"Their style, charm and talent will bring our music and story to a whole new generation and you will 'love them (for a reason)' as much as we do."
The production will include a number of the band's biggest hits, including 'One Bad Apple', 'Down by the Lazy River', 'Crazy Horses', 'Let Me In', 'Love Me for a Reason', '(We're) Having a Party', 'Puppy Love', 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' and Paper Roses'.
