“SO DID Y’HEAR THE STORY OF THE JOHNSTONE TWINS?”

Blood Brothers, The Musical, winner of The Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical, is set in London 1960’s -1980’s and revolves around twin boys Mickey and Edward, separated at birth. They become best friends and blood brothers while unaware of their true relationship. A haunting rags-to-riches tragedy of our times that draws attention to the detrimental effect that social inequality can have on people’s lives and resonates loudly even today.  A poignant and powerful tale of love and desperation that will take audiences on an unforgettable theater journey.”

“Blood Brothers is a true masterclass in storytelling. It tugs on every heartstring while sneaking in some laughs—and believe me, it had my inner English teacher welling up. This tragic tale of twins separated at birth is as much a lesson in social class as it is in theatrical magic.”
