Tell Me It's Not True - Maureen Nolan in Blood Brothers

Tell Me It's Not True - Blood Brothers

[@sylviajb5762]

I spoke to Maureen after this show that was at the Edinburgh Playhouse and mentioned her crying and she said she cries every night and if she didn't cry, she would feel she would have cheated her audience. It was also the same week her sister Bernie passed away.

[@kerrydobson487]

Seen this so many times and always breaks my heart, but Maureen was by far the best ❤️ the emotion in her voice is heartbreaking

[@orleepembo1]

Maureen is AMAZING! They need to make a DVD with her as the mum

[@luciebasset]

+orleepembo1 DEFINITELY!!! She is Mrs J isn't she!!!

[@paigeleigh2554]

Incredible!

[@Taylor_greenwood]

It would probably be better to have Niki Evans or Lynn Paul as Mrs Johnstone

[@jaderoberts5574]

Maureen is the best mrs Johnstone

[@Muswell]

i've seen the show many times but, for me, Bernie Nolan was by far the best.

[@MikeyCunningham]

The feels in Maureen Nolans voice... Seen her twice at Liverpool Empire last year. A great cast!

[@garysmith291]

[@colintwist2686]

I got to see her in this role, I’ve never cried so much in my life

[@metsogrand]

Will see the show later this year for the third time .I now never leave my shoes upon the table .

[@luciebasset]

MyBobbert, Maureen is my absolute favourite Mrs J and I have seen Blood Brothers many times over the years and going again next year!! This was the same week as her beloved sister died. :-(

[@metsogrand]

Now saw the show and it was the best version i have heard yet .Maureen is funny,gritty and has a super voice .keith jack ,richard and adam ,oklahoma and carousel next .all Edinburgh[ish]

[@adelebarnes6078]

I saw her in St. Helens and she was amazing !!! Definitely the best I have ever seen xx she had me in tears

[@Groomsandtips]

I saw Maureen Nolan in Blood Brothers last night, she was absolutely phenomenal. She truly owned the role as an actress and was utterly believable. The final scene is the best I've seen it done, and I've seen it quite a few times now. Martin Pellow also deserves a mention, he was great and still gorgeous!

[@jg1cj1dc1]

I saw Maureen at the Liverpool Empire - last year i think. She was soooo fantastic! Going to see her again in St Helens on 22.11.14 - can't wait.

[@lisawarne2275]

watched this on Friday absolutely stunning wsnt to see it again maureen you were truly phenomenal

[@danieldidcock4205]

went to see the show and Maureen Nolan was brilliant in this show.

[@billbansheeedinburgh1172]

I saw here in the last run in Edinburgh,, just saw an Advert on TV , back next week at the "playhouse " I hope to get tickets

[@samchizzy1234]

Went to see blood brothers yesterday and she was AMAZING, like truly AMAZING. Her voice is just incredible and rest of the cast were amazing too

[@carysjones112]

I saw the show the other night and Maureen was incredible she played that role so well and got me captivated into it .. She is such an incredible actress and she should play this role forever as she is amazing .... Her emotion when singing really got me and I was amazed :) amazing show everyone was good but she got my attention and my favourite :) xxx

[@jaderoberts5574]

I only watched Maureen in blood brothers she is absolutely amazing she played the role of mrs Johnstone very well I hope she come back in blood brothers again hopefully fingers crossed

[@romanvgotti1340]

I saw Maureen whilst the production was on tour in Cardiff. She was brilliant!

[@carysjones112]

Another thing I notice is when she sings this song at the end the emotion of the song takes over and that's why she belts out such an incredible tune :) you can tell it drained her from the emotion in her face and how over powering it was .... but that shows she played her role and she performed it well !! More than well she performed it amazing that I am so happy that I am seeing it for the 3rd time :) Maureen Nolan you make the show and you do it amazing :) I would be proud xxxx

[@luciebasset]

+Carys Jones... Carys, I spoke to Maureen one of the times I saw her playing Mrs J and I told her it seemed like she cries as she sings this song and she told me she does cry every time as the emotion gets to her every time and if she doesn't cry, she feels she has cheated the audience (or words to that effect). She's simply fabulous in the part.

[@carysjones112]

+lucielocket I really wanna meet her :) and you can tell she cries coz the emotion in her voice and face brings her character real which is incredible :) ... Seeing her face at the end when she bows you can see how it drains her and how powerful her character is :) and that shows me that she is incredible I am so happy I'm gonna see this again coz she is the reason and a lot people need to tell her :) I think she always play this role coz of how fab she is :) , when I saw her the other night she needed help off the stage coz of how emotional she took the role an played it bloody amazing that wen she kneels down in that song her legs actually gave away but she kept on and she stole the show :) incredible xxxx

[@luciebasset]

Carys Jones I hope you'll meet her, Carys as she is very very nice to speak to and she loves to know people's feelings on the show. You have summed her up perfectly, emotionally drained!!

[@carysjones112]

+lucielocket I'm glad someone agree with me and maybe when I see her while I am still crying I will tell her how amazing she is and that she plays the role perfect and truly incredible to watch xx

[@carysjones112]

+lucielocket because she is a credit to watch and because you have met her and told me that she likes the feedback then she deserves to know :) coz she has inspired me to maybe start drama :) xxx

[@Etonite]

Only just seen this clip. I love it also because two of my old mates are in it, Warwick Evans and Danny Taylor. I also know the two on the floor, sean and Mark, but they didn't sing in this bit!

[@traceyelsbury4701]

I watched this at Bristol hippodrome wow she was fab an amazing night Very moving x

[@deedeegreen8338]

Melanie C is still my favorite in that role. I get chills every time I hear her. The young men who play her sons, wipe their eyes when they get up at the end. I think they can really feel Melanie's heartbreak. Not since Hamlet has there been such a sad play.

[@JoelDeRouffignac]

My favourite Mrs J x Maureens just soars at the end and her acting is perfect! She looks alot like my mother so I guess that makes her performance that bit more personal. 5 stars 🌟

[@haaych]

Thanks for uploading. Went to see the show last night at the Birmingham Hippodrome and I must say Maureen's voice was captivating. Such strong vocals which filled the whole auditorium up. Class.

[@jordanpark9097]

Saw it in Manchester last night, she and Marti Pellow were fantastic!! Best version I have ever seen!

[@lizevans4534]

Seen her in Glasgow, absolutely fantastic

[@eleanorsmith736]

Maureen Nolan is the best Mrs Johnstone ever she is sooooooooo emotional when she sings tell me it's not true at the end and that's my favourite song in BLOOD BROTHERS.

[@carolyn292]

Have seen blood brothers many times twice it was Maureen who was Mrs Johnston , whilst all were good as her Maureen is my favourite

[@muirbabe]

thank you for uploading-incredibly moving.

[@amyclarke41]

great musical

[@dreamersprosperx3]

im taking my boyfriend to see this on saturday. oh my god i'm so excited

[@geraldbeddows9017]

Wow what a performance very powerful ❤️

[@andrewquigley18]

seen it at the kings superb stuff

[@davidjohnmorgan5389]

She was the best in that role.

[@hollymurray2959]

she puts so much more emotion into her singing and acting than people like mel c

[@Na3nAe101]

Maureen IS Mrs J, hands down. Man she knows how to pull at our heartstrings, rips my heart out every time. I hate hearing her cry because it was so close to her losing Bernie. I saw Maureen in April 2014 and some poor girl had a panic attack when the guns went off so you could hear her crying into the mic before she started singing and 9 times out of 10 you don't hear her until she starts singing. 10 minutes later when I was the first one to greet her at stage door though (once I'd stopped crying, I was still in tears walking out the theatre) she had the biggest smile on her face. Told her I'd come all the way from New Zealand just to see her, face was priceless, a memory I'll treasure forever. Sad she's not going back to BB next year but hope she goes back in a few years. She lost her voice a few weeks before that and Tracey had to step up and Tori stepped up to play Mrs Lyons and they were both amazing but the differences in emotion really showed.

[@danniigribbin5941]

have you got full show? I can trade? FAVOURITE MRS J EVER!

[@luciebasset]

Sorry, I go to watch it not record, other than perhaps just the end song!

[@MrDefyinggravity1]

wow thank you so much what camera do you use

[@luciebasset]

MrDefyinggravity1 It was my little old FujiFinepix that was about 8 years old at the time! I was filming it covertly from the ledge in the circle trying not to be seen and just aimed and hoped for the best so sorry the filming's a bit dodgy at times but Maureen's singing is so emotional and it was a couple of days before her sister sadly passed away. :(

[@PinkPanther4958]

was this in Manchester cause I saw her in the musical

[@luciebasset]

+Alex Colderley Not in Manchester and I'd rather not say where it was as I wasn't supposed to film it - hence it not being very good as my camera was kept down low!

[@PinkPanther4958]

+lucielocket ohh ok

[@elliott4106]

Anybody know who the narrator is here?

[@TheSpectreN8]

I always preferred Linda Nolan

[@tiaslavery3511]

+Dean Morris I agree x
