Frank W. Bridges Theatre
This new Austin theatrical tradition started last year with Forever Plaid and continues with Blood Brothers. Blood Brothers is a rag-to-riches haunting musical of our times. Set in Liverpool, this is a story of twins separated at birth. Mrs. Johnstone, left by her husband with seven mouths to feed, gives one of a set of twins to Mrs. Lyons. The boys grow up streets apart, never learning the truth but becoming firm friends. Their lives become more entwined as they fall in love with the same girl. How these lives play out is the sometimes funny, always poignant and moving musical that was nominated for 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Featuring: Krista Lenn Johnson, Mike Vereide, Brad Weber, Joshua Larson, Kirsten Lindbloom, Lucas Johnson, Natasha Villette, Patrick Menning and an ensemble of past and present Riverland students.
