About the show

So, did y’ hear the story of the Johnstone twins?

Blood Brothers is the heart-wrenching tale of two twin boys separated at birth and fated to die on the same day. Though divided by class, the young brothers are nonetheless drawn back to one another, forming a fierce friendship that carries them through to adulthood. Only their mothers know the truth of their relation, and if that truth is revealed, they may just pay the ultimate price.

Blood Brothers premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in Liverpool, England in 1983. On April 11, 1983, the show opened in the West End at the Lyric Theatre. The Broadway production of Blood Brothers opened on April 25, 1993 at the Music Box Theatre, where it ran for over two years. Nominated for Six 1993 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book and Winner of Two 1983 Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best Musical.
