What's it all about?
From a mother’s heartbreaking decision to give up her child emerges a story so compelling that even now – nearly 30 years after Blood Brothers first opened – audiences are still moved to tears every night.
You’ll be on the edge of your seat right from the start of this tragic tale of brotherly love and friendship against the odds. And even if you’re not a musicals kind of person, you can’t fail to be moved by the powerful, gritty storyline of this classic British drama.
Who's in it?
With so many great melodies on offer – from 'The Devil’s Got Your Number' to 'Tell Me It’s Not True' – you’re in for a superb night in the theatre.
Even the tunes you’ve not heard before have that instantly recognisable quality. And you’ve got to admire songs that have attracted performances from divas as diverse as Barbara Dickson, four of the Nolan sisters, Mel C, and Kiki Dee - currently starring Abigail Jaye (Evita) as Mrs Lyons and Vivienne Carlyle (The Drowsy Chaperone) as Mrs Johnstone.
Suitable for
Anyone who loves a great story, or who gets hooked on the latest dramatic turn of events in their favourite soap, will love this heart-rending tale.
With a level of tragedy bordering on Greek and echoes of other great northern dramas such as Educating Rita (also by writer Willy Russell) and Billy Elliot, Blood Brothers has been described as the musical for people who hate musicals. Once you’ve seen it, you’ll understand why – and what makes so many people return to see it time and time again.

What's the story?
Blood Brothers has the lot: a mother’s agonising dilemma, twins separated at birth, a bitter love triangle and a dire prophecy.
It’s the early 1960s and money is tight. When Mrs Johnstone discovers she’s pregnant with twins, she knows she can’t keep both, so she enters into a pact with the wealthy Mrs Lyons – a decision that will echo down the years with terrible consequences for everyone.
You’ll be on tenterhooks the whole way through, willing these two boys from very different sides of the tracks to triumph against the odds.
Staff Reviews
Outstanding production which had me laughing at the beginning and crying at the end. The score for the show is very 80s and the whole cast gave an excellent performance.
Blood Brothers is a tale of family and love, told knowing its inevitable tragic ending from the very beginning. Actors play their parts over a 20 year time range, with some playing kids, teenagers and troubled adults all in one performance. It's amazing to watch them change their mannerisms and speech to put this across.
What the critics say
A miracle! Still unmissable and unbeatable
The best musical in the West End
Gripping, gritty and superbly hummable - it's a must!
Customer Reviews
Really enjoyed it.
Incredible show. Lead lady was superb. Great seats too. Will definately be using you next time!
This was a gift for my daughter in law. She went with my son and they really enjoyed it. A musical she wanted to see for quite a while. This thought by me was a recommendation by a stranger. As these seats were not expensive this was a bonus. I want to see it now, my birthday is coming up soon.
The final 10 minutes is definately the best in any musical I have ever seen. Some very haunting songs and a guarenteed standing inovation! Definately recomended. PS Take some tissues!!
Excellent!
We spent the weekend in London and thought we really have to take in a show. We really enjoyed the show. The performers were excellent as was the story. Would highly recommend this.
