🎭 Blood Brothers at Milton Keynes Theatre
Thursday 28 August 2025
Time: 14:30
🎭 BILL KENWRIGHT LTD PRESENTS WILLY RUSSELL’S BLOOD BROTHERS
Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences.
Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award winning Blood Brothers. The production ran for more than 10,000 performances in London’s West End, one of only five musicals ever to achieve that milestone. It has been affectionately christened the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’, as inevitably it “brings the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval” (The Daily Mail).
