Dates and venues have been announced for the upcoming UK tour of Willy Russell’s BLOOD BROTHERS.

Olivier Award nominee Linzi Hateley will once again reprise her role of Mrs Johnstone having played the character in the 2018 tour. Further casting for the tour includes Sarah Jane Buckley, Sean Jones, Mark Hutchinson, Robbie Scotcher, Danielle Corlass, Tim Churchill, Graham Martin, Amy Jane Ollies, Alison Crawford, Graeme Kinniburgh, Andy Owens and Josh Capper.

The tour begins at the Festival Theatre in Malvern on 29th January before touring to Sheffield, Nottingham, High Wycombe, Bournemouth, Billingham, Killarney, Castlebar, Torquay, Salford, Llandudno, Blackpool, Southsea and Leeds, where the tour concludes 18th May.

BLOOD BROTHERS tells the moving story of two twins separated at birth, growing up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences. Bill Kenwright’s production has famously become one of the longest running musicals in West End history where it surpassed over 10,000 performances in the capital over 24 years. The score includes the now classic musical song ‘Tell Me It’s Not True’.
