This is the musical version of Willie Russell’s tragedy about a pair of identical twins whose mother can only afford to raise one child. She gives the other to a wealthy woman to bring up as her own. Hard hitting and poignant, Blood Brothers asks whether genetics or environment plays the primary role in the shaping of an individual’s character. When the two boys meet in later life, neither sees himself in the other and catastrophe results.

Containing such musical standards as Marilyn Monroe and Tell Me It's Not True, Blood Brothers has become one of the West End's most enduring classics, having been in the West End for over twenty years. The London production currently stars the X Factor's Niki Evans in the coveted role of Mrs Johnstone.

“A thrilling and important piece of altogether bigger and more ambitious than almost any other modern work that one can think of. It stands tall and proud…brings the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval” Daily Mail

“One of the best British musicals ever…vibrantly and grippingly alive” Sunday Times
