Behind the name

The story of Blood Brothers tells you the story of twin sons that were separated at birth and lived completely separate lives, oblivious to the fact that each has a twin in the world. By a strange twist of fate, the two are brought together. They discover the secret their mother hid from them all their lives.

‘Blood Brothers’ has been in the West End for over twenty years and yet the public’s appetite for theatre tickets for this show seems undiminished.

The show originally opened in the West End on the 27th August 1988. Its first home was the Albery Theatre but it moved to its current home, the Phoenix Theatre in November 1991. The booking period for the show has just been extended for a further eight months so that it is now possible to book for this show through to the 31st of July 2010.

The show was written by Willy Russell who is perhaps best known for his plays such as ‘Stags and Hens’ and ‘Our Day Out’. Perhaps his best known pieces are two that were made into hit films, ‘Educating Rita’ and ‘Shirley Valentine’.

‘Blood Brothers’ tells the story, based in Liverpool, of two twins, separated at birth, who grow up in very different worlds. They are of course reunited by a twist of fate and the discovery of their mother’s secret. Amongst the show’s best loved numbers are ‘Bright New Day’, ‘Tell Me It’s Not True’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe’.

The show has won many awards and was voted the most popular British Musical of all time by the New York Times. The Sunday Times described the show as “Exhilarating. One of the best musicals ever written.”
