Written by Willy Russell, author of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to be re-united by a twist of fate and a mother’s haunting secret . The incredible score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.
Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi award-winning Blood Brothers. Scooping up no less than four awards for Best Musical in London, seven Tony nominations on Broadway, and receiving a standing ovation at every performance, discover why Blood Brothers was voted the Most Popular British Musical Of All Time by New York Times readers.
No wonder Blood Brothers is now ‘The musical for all time’.
Starring Lyn Paul, one of the original members of the chart topping New Seekers. Considered by many Blood Brothers fans as the quintessential Mrs Johnstone, Lyn first joined the West End production of Blood Brothers in 1997, starring in the lead role for the next three years, including during the show’s 10th anniversary year. She has also played the role repeatedly on tour.
