Music and Lyrics By: Willy Russell
Directed By: Bob Tomson
 Set in Liverpool, Blood Brothers tells the tale of twin boys, separated at birth only to be reunited by a twist of fate and a mother’s haunting secret. The pressures of superstition, class and economics trap them both and ensure their fate – their paths are destined to cross again in both friendship and anger. Take a look at the full synopsis.

 Willy Russell was born in Whiston, near Liverpool, England, in 1947. He has written a string of popular, award-winning plays, including Educating Rita which was successfully made into an Oscar-nominated movie starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. However, he had never written any music before trying his hand at Blood Brothers. Read more about the history of the musical. |
  I own three different recordings of this show, and I’m hoping to get some foreign language recordings soon! Take a look at my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. |
  I almost went to see the show in 1996 in Toronto, with David Cassidy and Michael Burgess, but we ran out of time on our trip, so I had to pass. But I did finally get a chance to see it, 6 years later, in London, where it all started! Read more of my thoughts on that particular performance. |
