I am not sure that willy Russell would give up the rights to do it. Of all plays he wrote this one is his most socially conscious. Its about two Liverpool women agree a blood pact to raise thier boys but it all goes horrible wrong. I saw the show a long time and it's very powerful and the finale/reprise of tell me its not true was one of the most powerful moments I ever saw in a dublin theatre. I can't recall who played the role of Mrs Johnson when I saw the show in Dublin. The end of show is very dark
@andyleclerc36005 ай бұрын
THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing. A few credits during the overure (I'd use the Petula Clark cd version), maybe have everything in slow motion until the narrator steps aside from the crowd yo begin tellinb the story. I'd pay to see that!.

Have seen Blood Brothers over 60 times now. Was lucky enough to see its premier at the Liverpool Playhouse all those years ago. In my opinion the very best Mrs Johnstone was the late Bernadette Nolan. Best Mickey ....Con O'Neill and best narrator....Andrew Schofield. Even saw John Conteh play the narrator and Willy Russell stood in for him when was ill. Thanks for posting I didn't see Mel C appear so it's nice to hear her sing the big one at the end. Looks like she did a great job. Brilliant musical one of the best and long may it continue..

Have seen this show three times in the 80's with Kiki Dee, 90's with Rebecca Storm and 2009 with Mel C. Every time I am bawling like a baby at the end. Still gets my vote for the best British musical of all time. Music as a stand alone soundtrack does not have anything like the overwhemling emotional impact it does in the theatre
