Blood Brothers is an unusual musical in that there is also a lot of talking included in the script. This makes the story far more plausible and adds something to the musical score.

The story follows the path of two twins that were separated at birth. One was sent to a rich family, whilst the other stayed with its financially struggling family. We see the twins making friends and then the eventual realisation of who they really are. It is a compelling and moving story that allows the audience to become involved and thus feel great emotion at the musical's conclusion.

The music is very enjoyable and can be listened to time-and-time again without becoming repetitive or dull. It is a beautiful representation of inner-city life and handles the issue with a gentle comedy.

This is definetely a musical worth watching. Try the Wednesday afternoon matinee performance for cheaper seats.
