I went to the theatre last night with some of my lovely family. to see Willy Russell's "Blood Brothers". a West end hit musical....well no doubt most of you know about it.....There is a Narrator, who is on stage most of the time, very handsome! and rather creepy..
The background was the same, and they kept bringing props on, the lighting was truly spectacular, and the sound...
Such a great cast and very captivating, if you do not know the story, it is set in Liverpool England, and is about a mother of a large family who is asked to give one of her twin boys away to a rich family, it was strange to see grown people play children, but it was so very clever and funny..... the twins meet up by a twist of fate, and they become blood brothers... the singing, lighting and sound as I have said were really great....and added so much to the story....The main cast a Mrs Johnstone, was played very very well by one of the Nolan sisters. And her voice is so good...
After the interval it is the children and the twins grown up, then tragedy, Police and guns came through the audience, bit jumpy!! then they all sang Tell Me it's Not True, a very haunting song, truly moving, they had a standing ovation, and six curtain calls.... so all in all a great musical....
On the 7th April we are going to see "Broadway" with loads of music from shows.... by the same creators of "Spirit of the Dance" that we saw last year, so looking forward to that......
I am getting to like going to our little Theatre, but have to be choosy as it is quite expensive, but well worth it.....
