please don't post on here now - I've bought the tickets so if it's rubbish, I don't really want to know Grin

It's very good. I saw it with Mel C playing one of the lead roles and she was brilliant. In fact the whole cast were excellent.

Saw it a couple of years back with one of the Nolan sisters in the lead role - it was great!

Took both DCs (teens) with us and they loved it too. Was the first musical DS had seen, he was really impressed

We've seen it about four times, and always enjoyed it.

I saw it in Glasgow a few years back with Anthony Costa from Blue in it. It was great.

I've seen Blood Brothers a few times now, including the one with Anthony Costa in it, so you can probably tell that I'm a fan! Definitely worth seeing :)

McKenie Did you like it?
Iwent for the first time a couple of weeks ago with DS1 and we loved it although I did have to keep explaining what some of the references meant.

He had never heard of expressions such as on the 'Never never' and buying things on 'tick' I also had to explain about Skelmedale being a New Town and rehoused people from Liverpool.
He wasn't keen on the singing but the singing was a way of explaaning the story.
Anthing by Willy Rusell is usully great!!
