Anybody who grew up with a working class background, living in terraced housing and having adventures in the alleyways of a council estate will love where Blood Brothers comes from.
This heartwarming (and when I say warming, sometimes you'll feel roasted) musical about the tale of two brothers parted at birth stars Maureen Nolan as Liverpudlian single mum Mrs Johnstone, who finds herself pregnant with twins at a time when she really cannot afford them (she has seven other kids).
She enters into an inadvisable pact with her well-to-do employer Mrs Lyons, who cannot have children of her own, and gives one twin away while keeping the other.
