Producer Bill Kenwright Ltd has announced new dates for its continuing Blood Brothers UK tour, this time for autumn 2025.
The smash-hit West End musical continues to tour extensively, with no signs of slowing down.
Written by award-winning playwright Willy Russell (Shirley Valentine), the autumn 2025 tour of Blood Brothers starts at Milton Keynes Theatre on 27 August 2025, and then visits Buxton, Nottingham, Barnstaple, Stoke-on-Trent, Mold, Poole, Cheltenham, Swindon, Belfast, Doncaster, and Salford. See all dates and booking info.
Casting for the autumn 2025 tour is to be announced. The show’s recent spring dates featured Vivienne Carlyle as Mrs. Johnstone, Sean Jones as Mickey, Joe Sleight as Eddie, Gemma Brodrick as Linda, Sarah Jane Buckley as Mrs Lyons, and Sean Keany as Narrator.
The story tells the tale of twins separated at birth, who grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences.
The show is directed by Bob Tomson and the late Bill Kenwright, with Musical Supervisor Matt Malone, Sound design by Dan Samson, Set & Costume design by Andy Walmsley and Lighting design by Nick Richings. The Resident Director is Tim Churchill.
Blood Brothers started its life as a play performed at a Liverpool school in 1981, before opening at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983. The musical has since played around the world, including winning four awards for Best Musical in London and seven Tony Award nominations on Broadway. The show played for more than 10,000 performances in the West End.
