Blood Brothers

Why see Blood Brothers?

The UK Favourite Is On Tour

Surpassing over 10,000 performances on London's West End (that's an incredible 24 years of shows), Willy Russell's Blood Brothers is safely one of the UK's favourite musicals. Now, courtesy of Bill Kenwright Limited, the legendary hit takes to the road this year on tour, bringing the emotional tale of two brothers torn asunder by fate to you. Including modern classics such as 'Tell Me It's Not True', 'Marylin Monroe' and 'Bright New Day' among many more, discover once more (or for the first time) the heartwrenching yet uplifting journey that is this special show.

What Is The Story?

When working-class kid Mickey meets the well-to-do Eddie, it's impossible to deny their resemblance. Little do they know, they're more than just similar looking, they're actually twins, separated at birth when their mother, struck a desperate deal with her wealthy employer. When the two discover the sons have connected, they work hard to tear them apart again. A boiling mixture of superstition and class difference, Blood Brothers is a searing exploration of the gap between poor and rich and the age-old nature vs nurture debate.

Blood Brothers

I have seen this show over the last 20 years 3 times with big name stars, Lyndsey De Paul, Linda Nolan ! This was my fourth time seeing the production and I have to say this is by far the best ever cast I have seen. All credit to Nicki Evans she lived the role of the mother her out pouring of affection and emotion and the end was incredibly moving. The whole cast are amazing each and everyone one watching Mickey (Sean Jones) & Eddie (Jay Worley) grow from kids to men fantastic. Paula as Mrs Lyon’s so moving. I could honestly watch this every night of the shows run. Commendable the whole team for displaying such fantastic acting, you laugh, reminisce, you cry my god do you cry and you come out dancing like Marlyn Monroe!!!! ... Read more
