Willy Russell's popular Blood Brothers, still running in London's West End after nearly 15 years, is on tour at the First Group Theatre in Dubai. The production stars a cast of West End actors complete with live orchestra.
The prolific Russell (of Educating Rita
fame) set this splendid musical melodrama in 1950s Liverpool and it
tells of twin brothers who are separated at birth, one adopted by a
rich family, the other staying poor.
They grow up as friends,
but can it last? The play is ambitious, the songs are very good and if
you let yourself be carried away, it is an intense emotional
experience.
With not only book and lyrics by Russell, but also music as well, Blood Brothers
won Olivier, Plays and Players, Ivor Novello and Drama Magazine Awards
for the London production and received a further seven Tony nominations
on Broadway.
Guaranteed to have you standing and cheering at the end.
