Featured Review

there's a thing about musicals......and I love musicals, is when after a song, we all applaud, rather than allow the whole thing to flow and for us to enjoy each moment .
In rehearsals there's no clapping after a crescendo has been hit so why in the theatre ?

Blood Brothers was written beyond perfection by St. Willy Russell, so you lose the pause, the interlude for applause and you get a full flowing piece that you can only lose yourself in. The scenes blend before your eyes, the cast move us between each area, everything flows, no jarring, no pause, no applause. And that is not a bad thing.

This is choreography at its finest and poetically perfect. A cast that you believe are 7 (nearly 8) even though they are adults and you know they are, well if Bugsy Malone can cast children as adults, this can go the other way without a sense of disbelief.

This was Melanie C's last day as Mrs Johnstone, and she was excellent. But then so were the rest of the cast....a wonderful production, go see, enjoy, and whatever you do, (don't) tell me it's not true.

I went and saw 'Blood Brothers' with my school, it was fantastic loved every little moment of it, I just didn't want it to end. It was so funny, everyone's singing was great and beautiful, Marti Pellow was absolute brilliant!! I didn't think he had that in him. Being a twin myself, I would hate getting split up at birth then finally knowing that you had a twin, I wouldn't like it!
The whole cast worked so hard on making a performance of their lifetime I think! I will admit I cried loads when I went it's a great plot and it's amazing how you can see Mickey and Eddie grow when your watching it, loved when they met each other it made me smile, all the time they would bump into each other and the songs, 'My Friend' and 'That Guy' were so good!
There's so much more exciting things about it but ill get carrier away so I better stop, I would honestly recommend it so much, it's the best musical I've seen by far.

We saw the final performance of Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre, and I have to say they really pulled out all the stops for a fabulous send off. This is the fourth time I've seen the show and it really was a fantastic success. Sensational performances from every cast member and genuine tears of both sadness and gratitude at the end from both the cast and the audience. Hats off to the cast and crew to going out with a bang. It truly was an unforgettable evening.

Have seen this production many times before, it now seems to be scaled down with no famous faces to boost the cast. Classic show, great story but not what it used to be .

Splendid show performed with amazing feeling. The whole cast were excellent and the Devil sinister.
So good that a group of schoolboys generally not wanting to be there sat up and were absorbed by the whole show. Never seen that happen before.

Not thinking much of Blood Brothers when I read the script, my expectations for the musical were not that high, but were far exceeded. With our tickets being upgraded to the third row back in the stalls, we had a great vantage point for the fantastic acting that commenced throughout, particularly that of Sean Jones (Mickey), whose transformation from rough, gawky 7-year-old to a depressed, old-before-his-time working young man was phenomenal. Equally fantastic were Lyn Paul - whose heart-wrenching portrayal of Mrs Johnstone brought me to tears - and Jan Graveson, flawlessly carrying out the many ages of Linda with hilarity. The ending scene was so expertly executed that it reduced myself, my mum and many strangers around me to tears and a standing ovation. The brilliant acting teamed with memorable songs it was overall an amazing production.

I loved it! It's the best musical I've seen, and I didn't think that anything could top Mamma Mia! I There were some moments where my heart stopped! I've promised my little sister that we'll see it sometime in the future when it's touring in Scotland (soon hopefully!).
It is amazing! and if you get the chance, go see it :D

Blood Brothers - not quite forever

This was a last chance for me to see the current production in the West End (it closes in London in a couple of weeks but the touring production continues round the country).

Blood Brothers is a favourite of mine and having seen it a number of times over the years I knew what to expect.

It was good but I wasn't blown away this time. There were certainly a couple of places where the show looked tired and untidy; not acceptable for a West End production.

On the night it was really a 2-3 star performance of what has previously (for me) been a 5 star show. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt in rating it 4 star this time around.

I bought these tickets for me and.my boyfriend (ages 19 & 23) as my mum and her partner (48) recommended and it was the best musical I have seen. I would recommend to all ages and all people as the humour is excellent!! You will not be disappointed if you go to see this - the Stalls is the place to sit as well due to performers appearing there! Amazing singing and acting. My boyfriend has never been fussed on musicals but even he would go and see this again. Buy the soundtrack too as its unbelievable!!
