Like most people I was left in shock last week when it was announced Blood Brothers would be closing after nearly 24 years in the West End. Without hesitation I immediately booked tickets to see this tremendous musical one last time...

What I love most about Blood Brothers is the gripping storyline. One minute you are crying with laughter and then next you are crying with sadness. I can't name a human emotion that isn't explored in this incredible show.

Blood Brothers to close after nearly 24 years in the West End

London’s third longest-running musical, Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers, has posted closing notices after 10,000 performances and nearly 24 years in the West End.

The Bill Kenwright production is due to give its final performance at the Phoenix Theatre on 27 October 2012. And, despite earlier rumours that it may move directly into the Playhouse Theatre, where another Kenwright production, Dreamboats and Petticoats closed last week, there are no immediate plans to transfer to another venue.
