Backstage Tour: Blood Brothers
Sat 3 Oct 2026
Backstage Tour
Tuesday 29 September 2026 – Saturday 3 October 2026
Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences.
Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award-winning Blood Brothers. The production ran for more than 10,000 performances in London’s West End and has been affectionately christened the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’ as inevitably it “brings the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval” (The Daily Mail).
The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

★★★★★“Dazzling” – Sunday Telegraph
★★★★★ “Timeless and thrilling” – Sunday Express
★★★★★ “Absolutely sensational…sends shivers racing down your spine” – Daily Telegraph
“A triumphant evening…unmissable and unbeatable” – The Spectator
“Once is not enough…You’ll be queuing to return” - LBC
