Written by award-winning playwright Willy Russell, Blood Brothers is a tale of Liverpool life that has wowed audiences around the world. First performed at a Liverpool school in 1981, it debuted at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983 before becoming a global phenomenon.

The musical tells the heart-wrenching story of twins separated at birth, raised on opposite sides of the tracks, and reunited with tragic consequences.

With unforgettable numbers like A Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe, and Tell Me It’s Not True, this timeless tale of love, loss, and fate has earned its place as one of the greatest musicals of all time.

The Liverpool Empire Theatre will host this iconic production from Tuesday 11 March – Saturday 22 March.
