Few musicals have captured the hearts of British audiences quite like Blood Brothers. Willy Russell's masterpiece tells the story of twin brothers Mickey and Eddie, separated at birth and raised in vastly different circumstances on either side of Liverpool — one in poverty, the other in privilege. When they meet by chance and become best friends, neither knows the truth. But as the superstitious Mrs Johnstone warned, when separated twins learn the truth, they will both die on that day.
This definitive touring production has been seen by over four million people worldwide and remains as powerful, funny, and heartbreaking as ever. The score — featuring 'Marilyn Monroe', 'Tell Me It's Not True', and 'Bright New Day' — is one of the finest in musical theatre.
With a company of twenty-two and a live seven-piece band, this is muscular, emotionally devastating theatre that leaves audiences on their feet and reaching for their tissues.
'One of the best musicals ever written' — Sunday Times
