I am a big fan of musical theatre and earlier this year my huband and I went to London for the weekend, he is not a theatre lover and has never seen a musical, so i booked us a hotel and ticket deal. I chose to see blood brothers as i hadnt seen it myself.
So we arrived at the Pheonix theatre which is a lovely theatre and got outselfs settled.
Right from the start of this production with its mood setting intro music i was captivated. The story line being of two brothers born by Mrs Johnston, a lady who has many children and no money and her boss cannot have children so Mrs J agrees to let her have one of her babys.
The story unfolds and the boys meet through out the years despite the two mothers trying to prevent it due to superstitions. A young girl marries one of the boys but ends up wanting the other. There are many twists and turns through out the play.
The production had be laughing out loud, jumping the next and then tears. This production takes you on a roller coaster of emotions and well worth seeing, i loved it so much that i went to see it on tour at Plymouth pavilions and it wont be the last time i see this production, even the second time made me cry, really isnt a dry eye in the house.
