We saw BB recently,and I have to admit wouldn't have thought of booking seats but they were an anniversary gift. WOW! Absolutely brilliant performances. I was moved to tears at the end, and most of the audience gave the cast a well deserved standing ovation. We will book to go again. I loved the fact that the cast was small and the sets changed before your eyes.2 acts with so much packed into it. Loved the performance by Mickey and the narrator.Hadn't read anything about the plot before going so it was all a surprise to us and we loved the story.

It was incredible - the storyline, the songs, the emotions - unbelievable. For a show with a small cast it still made a huge impact on me. The acting is amazing to watch and is so believable.
By the end I, and many other audience members were in tears - it was so powerful. I would recommend this to anyone as it is my favourite musical. Nothing could make it better. Is addictive.
Love it!- Read Guest's review (75 words)

Lyn paul was outstanding in the role of Mrs Johnson, her vocals out of this world much much better than the London production, the show has you gripped from the start....well worth the total standing ovation at the end.- Read Guest's review (40 words)

3rd time at Blood Brothers this year and I must say, the best so far. The Sewell brothers have just continued to get better and better and this audience was absolutely great. The atmosphre was fab. Press releases as of yesterday have stated that Mel C (ex spice girls ) will be Mrs Johnstone from 26th Oct, joining the present cast.- Read mags1962's review (60 words)

It's taken me a long time to finally go and see Blood Brothers and I have to say it was the best show I've ever seen. Such an emotional experience. I thought Niki Evans was sensational in the role. Other stand out performances were Louise Clayton who played Linda and Philip Stewart, the narrator - very foreboding. Just wonderful.- Read Guest's review (59 words and 1 comment)

OMG, i absolutely loved Blood Brothers. All the cast were amazing! Niki's voice was out of this world and the amount of emotion she put into the role of Mrs Johnstone was incredible! An amazing show, it truly sent shivers down my spine. Ben and Michael Sewell who played Mickey and Eddie were fantastic as well, amazing actors, singers and incredibly funny as kids. Ben Sewell was also incredible playing the older Mickey, it moved me to tears his acting. Love love love the show and would happily se ...- Read Gracie1994's review (106 words)

I really don't get what all the fuss is about. Maybe it all just went over my head but I didn't enjoy Blood Brothers at all. I thought it was really predictable, depressing - even though some of the heavier scenes just made me want to giggle. The funny bits were a bit slap stick and not really that funny. The music was repetitive but not at all catchy. I was bored and wanted it to end. It got a standing ovation so obviously some people enjoyed it but my friends and I were left a bit bemused.- Read Guest's review (98 words)

I took my mum to see Blood Brothers for her 60th Birthday along with my dad, what a great show, the cast also was fantastic, Niki who plays Mrs J, the brothers Mickey and Eddie and also the love interest Linda all suberb.
The only thing is the sound when the narrator comes on to sing it is way to loud for such a small theatre, needs to ne adjusted.
A show that the whole family will enjoy, charged with emotion, great acting and songs, great story!!!
We all loved it, and so did the rest of the ...- Read Guest's review (104 words)

I have been to see Blood Brothers 4 times now. My most recent attendance of it was 11/07/09. I was excited to see Niki Evans take the role as Mrs Johnstone as I have only seen a Nolan sister in that role. I must say that Niki gave the part everything she had. I found her voice spectacular to listen to and I believe that she gave a lot more emotion in "Tell Me It's Not True" than I have seen in any performance of it. Her acting abilities were surprising as she was very good and gave the role an o ...- Read ronaldmcc's review (292 words)

seen Blood Brothers twice this year. I love the show. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry each time. What a twist to have real twins playing Mickey and Eddie. I thought the twins and Sammy were fab but then, so were all of the actors.Have seen two different Mrs Johnstones and must say the actress Viveinne Carlyle stepped into the shoes magnificently. I intend to see the show again this year and would love to see this cast again, they were fab without any "big" names.- Read mags1962's review (89 words)

Well, where can I begin with this fabulous tail of two brothers who get sepereated at birth and should never meet up or something serious will happen to the pair of them, I have seen this show an incredible 9 times now some people will think that is sad i however would say it's the best show on the west end the cast were fantastic, set in liverpool and how Mrs J doesnt want her sons to turn out like Marilyn Monroe and didnt even let anything phase them i would have liked to known more about the ...- Read seanyboy18's review (164 words)

I hated Blood Brothers.
Why, because we live in modern times, is it justifiable to most viewers that the amount of bad language in it is deemed to be acceptable for entertainment?
I took my teenage daughter to watch it and felt uncomfortable with her listening to the swearing on stage. I would not have been happy taking a younger child to watch it.
The whole show was very loud, aggressive and depressing in its storyline and not a show I would recommend seeing if you want to come out feeling hap ...- Read tracam 's review (124 words and 5 comments)

Blood Brothers is the one to watch..im not a big fan of theatre perormances, prefer the cinema better but I must say watching a movie at the cinema has never made me cry....!! The characters were great and the story was touching it made me cry with humour and the very sad ending added to my tears!!! Love it and I'm never going to think of a theatre performance as boring and dull ever, not after watching this one.- Read Guest's review (80 words)

Saw the Blood Brothers again last weekend, the whole cast is amazing. The character Micky is very funny and the way the actors play themselves as kids AND adults is brilliant. Niki Evans is a star - watch out for her in the future - in fact I enjoyed it so much I am going again to the matinee this afternoon!- Read Debs Eleven's review (61 words)
