Blood Brothers London : last ever curtain call

[@tinadavey3065]

My all time favourite stage show.... and I've seen a lot. I agree .... there needs to a DVD or even .... film version for the cinema. PLEASE

[@disneydanny2]

indeed it's one of mine too. seen it 2 times,(us Tour and a college production) I have *MANY* versions of the soundtrack . It's a *GREAT* show!

[@margueritegregory307]

I have seen 11 times last timmme yesterday . Istarted watching i first n London Brillint.

[@jamiecee20]

Very late reply but I love this, but a film version of blood brothers would ruin it. Some things like this, should stay live performance

[@devansafer4251]

I was thinking it would be a nice opportunity to be able to direct a screen adaptation

[@grinhams]

Must if seen this show over 15 times in the last 10 years best show on the west end nothing will beat it

[@30575scott]

I am so glad I discovered this cllip! Wonderful final curtain call in London! I only saw "Blood Brothers" once, on Broadway, in the early or mid-1990s, with Carole King as Mrs. Johnston and Adrian Zmed as the Narrator. I loved it them, and I still love it today, almost 20 years later. It touched my heart then, and it still touches my heart today. I am quite sure that "Blood Brothers" remains as my favorite musical, although others may have been fancier and more costly productions.

[@robynpainter7469]

"To you three up there, God bless you" I cried for about half an hour

[@KatMusic2009]

Sadly can add David Cassidy & Graham Martin to that list now!

This was my indoctrination into theatre, 25 years ago. As fate would have it, through applying for employment whilst doing my business NVQ, I didn't get the job at the York Magistrates Court, but instead got one at the Grand Opera House. How bloody lucky was I?! I'd only ever seen film musicals before and heard the score to Phantom. This blew me away; I've seen it at least 20 times now and heard it more times; when we had the 2 week run, turned the speaker up in our office to hear every matinee whilst working. I had the pleasure of speaking to the great Bill Kenwright and working with his company to publicise this and Joseph. Now, home educating my daughter, I'm ecstatic it's one of the play options for GCSE English. Just wish I could find the 95 filmed version with Stephanie Lawrence, Warwick Evans and Paul Crosby. My favourite cast, hands down

[@xvanillaskyx]

Maureen Nolan is killing it as Mrs Johnston on the current tour. Sean, Mark and Warwick are back too. Lost count the amount of times I've seen this show since 1994!

[@donnaberry1511]

I was first introduced to musical theatre by Blood Brother 'Long Sunday Afternoon/My Bestfriend' is my fave. absolutely love it. I agree we need a DVD.

[@gareththompson1856]

Donna Berry I sang the songs when I was around 13/14 in my local summer school and I was hooked. I then sang Tell me it’s not true for my performing arts G.C.S.E exam and I got an A for it. I have never sang like I did then ever. I even cried while singing it. Think that’s what got me my A lol 😁They defo do need to bring a film out and soon 😊

[@amynolan4573]

I'm so sad this has ended, it was my dream to play Mrs Johnston in this amazing musical :(

[@davehoyle4351]

Can't wait to see the show at Bradford Alhambra in a couple of weeks time seen it 3 times and it just gets better

[@Noname-re2kr]

We deffo need a dvd of the show! X

[@nobbycampbell]

Now please release a dvd of the show Bill!.

[@musicalmagpie741]

Barbara Dickson is forever ingrained into my heart as Mrs Johnston. Her folk voice complimented Willy Russell’s music beautifully. Easy Terms has never been performed better. The production may not have been a huge success but she absolutely deserved her Olivier (S.W.E.T. Awards at the time) for best actress in a musical. But that was the original production. Kiki Di was a surprise choice for the revival (this production and tour) but she certainly delivered and I’m glad they thought to record it on film, not just a cast album, and released it for students studying the play. At least we have a version for posterity. I’ve seen this show countless times on tour with a variety of Mrs Johnstons. It’s gotten to the stage now that the show itself is the “star” and it doesn’t have to depend too heavily upon star/celebrity casting. As Mr Kenwright said, “it’s the people’s musical”.

[@seanyboyoc]

I remember the first time I saw this in 1989. Con O'Neil was amazing as one of the boys. Wonder what he's acting in now?

[@ACIDICcitric]

Sean O'Connor Chernobyl

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

Con appears to be selective in his projects. Have watched as many appearances as possible. He was wonderful in Dancin' Thru the Dark.'

[@seanyboyoc]

@@voulafisentzidis8830 that’s interesting. He was in Chernobyl too. I think he’s very underrated

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

@@seanyboyoc I agree. He's one of the best of his generation, and very versatile. He was terrific in the Blues Brothers (on stage). He appeared as two different characters in 'Pie in the Sky' and other TV shows as a guest. He sings well too, with quite a distinctive voice. His projects are few but he's always excellent.

[@brandonthomas1887]

ive seen that in the winding wheel theatre and sean was playing mickey.. he was great !!

[@joroberts6881]

Saw Sean, Mark and Lyn in the touring show last night-was fab-and the awesome Danny taylor as sammy :)

[@TheClownofhearts]

Thank God Bill's brought it back on tour

[@disneydanny2]

I wish it would get another U.S. Tour. one of the BEST musicals I've ever seen.

[@jackson2673]

Seen this show live in year 10 for performing arts GCSE. Best show by far.

[@FraserM817]

I was there, such an emotional night!

[@angalagna]

can't stop crying....

[@philipfuller555]

One of the best musicals written.

[@glockenspielpost3298]

I was there there too.... Actually i am the one who was screaming BRAVO in the video XD, however was a great night for a great show, And i really hope to see that again in the west end!!

[@musicbitsnbobs]

Is that Lynn Paul playing Mrs J? Saw her in Bristol a few years ago and she blew me away! My all time favourite though was Bernie Nolan. Saw it 12 times ... Still my favorite

[@Muswell]

Craig James My favourite was Linda Nolan.

[@Taylor_greenwood]

This was linzi hately I'm almost positive that it's her

[@TheSpectreN8]

Linda Nolan is Mrs J in my mind and no one else before or after was as good in my opinion

[@Muswell]

Dean Morris I agree. Phenomenal performance.

[@sarahbrookfield]

Theres me dad at 1:52 ♡

[@feow33]

oh nooo.......fantastic show

[@vinylmisfit2165]

Sorry for a late reply, I believe he is filming for a BBC 3 show called Uncle currently, he has had a steady acting career since Blood Brothers though. :)

[@sonic_ghost0984]

Where was con o neil at?

[@andytalbot6719]

I saw The Blood Brothers as the original play in school in 1981

[@grimandi1001]

RIP Bill, what a complete legend ❤

[@chelseaphillips9210]

Wow what? Blood Brothers has ended? Nooooo!

[@terriharber9761]

I didnt see amy robbins orvmel c in those pics,??

[@alteredfeast2800]

They were both there on the night, right at the start. The video comes in on the 27th slide, so you can't see them. I just checked to be sure, as it was my job to put them up... Wouldn't want to have missed those!

[@penguinnexus]

Rest in Peace Bill Kenwright!

[@mattdeans9873]

saw it in denver with pet clark and saun cassidy.. david had just left the cast. very moving

[@scarletfarrer1024]

my dad was the one that did 4000 shows

[@jscho8674]

Wow! Sounds like a dream job. :)

[@TheClownofhearts]

+Scarlet Farrer you must be so proud

[@KatMusic2009]

What did he say after "tapping girls, helicopters......."?

[@jungleclimber2]

No Petula Clark?

[@MelissaThompson432]

She did Broadway, not London. I only know about this play because David Cassidy died. YT started filling up the feed with videos of him, and there's one of him and Shaun singing "Tell Me It's Not True."

[@MelissaThompson432]

On a talk show. Petula played their mother.

[@goonerbean4680]

Lyn Paul my fav!
