Review

"Olivier Award Best New Musical

Tony Award Best Book of a Musical"

Product Description

A Liverpudlian West Side Story, Blood Brothers is the story of twin brothers separated at birth because their mother cannot afford to keep them both. One of them is given away to wealthy Mrs Lyons and they grow up as friends in ignorance of their fraternity until the inevitable quarrel unleashes a blood-bath. Blood Brothers was first performed at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983 and subsequently transferred to the Lyric Theatre, London. It was revived in the West End in 1988 for a long-running production and opened on Broadway in 1993.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, shame about the typos, 11 July 2003

"tearsinheaven22" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blood Brothers: A Musical - Book, Music and Lyrics (Acting Edition) (Paperback)

First recieved this book and thought it was slightly thin. I was expecting it to have bits edited out. To my suprise the slightly small font (i'd guess about size 10 or 12) revealed the story in more detail than i picked up from the musical itself. An amazing re-encounter with Mickey Edward and Linda was brought back to life for me to read over and over again.
A few typos were present in the book which was a slight let down, but it doesnt subtract from the touching beautiful piece of art brought to life by Russell.
A must for anyone who wants to relive the play in their mind again.
This book is the scripted version including the song lyrics. It doesnt however contain the musical score. Yet, still a worthwhile buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 15 Oct 2004

"davemarct" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blood Brothers - A Musical (Methuen Student Editions) (Paperback)

This musical is absolutely fantastic. Russel did an amazing job for his first musical. He not only wrote the script, he also worte the lyrics and the music for the entire show. I own this book and it is incredibly helpful. The script is very moving and when you watch it performed live, you are heartless if you don't cry. It wrenches every tear and pulls on every heart string.

My advice when looking at this book, BUY IT! Then go and watch a performance of it. Or alternitavely if you have already seen it performed, BUY THIS BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like the show, then this will bring it home for you., 14 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Brothers - A Musical (Methuen Student Editions) (Paperback)

If, like me you love the stage production of Blood Brothers, and you have the soundtrack, this is the next essential item. It helps you to relive the experience time and time again, and is useful in terms of spotting confusing lyrics etc. Foreighn readers can also benefit from the extensive glossary when trying to decode the slang so common in the play.
