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.
The story tells the tale of twins separated at birth, who grow up on the 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.
