Blood Brothers (musical)
''Blood Brothers'' is a musical with book, lyrics, and music by Willy Russell. The story is a contemporary nature versus nurture plot, revolving around fraternal twins Mickey and Eddie who were separated at birth. The twins' different backgrounds take them to opposite ends of the social spectrum, one becoming a councillor and the other unemployed and in prison. They both fall in love with the same girl, causing a tear in their friendship and leading to the tragic death of both brothers. Andrew Lamb wrote that the musical is based loosely on the 1844 novella ''The Corsican Brothers'' by Alexandre Dumas, père,〔Lamb, Andrew. (''150 Years of Popular Musical Theatre'' ), p. 346, Yale University Press, 2000 ISBN 0-300-07538-3〕 but in a 2012 interview with the ''Daily Telegraph'', Russell denied the influence of Dumas's work, saying that his work was based on a one-act play that he read as a child "about two babies switched at birth ... it became the seed for Blood Brothers."〔Levin, Angela. ("Willy Russell: 'I want to talk about things that matter'" ), ''Daily Telegraph'', 15 October 2012, accessed 15 October 2014〕
Originally developed as a school play, ''Blood Brothers'' debuted in Liverpool before Russell transferred it to West End for a short run in 1983. The musical won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical and went on to a year-long national tour before returning for a revival in the West End in 1988 where it stayed at the Albery Theatre for 3 years, transferring to the Phoenix Theatre in 1991. The revival ran for more than 24 years in the West End, and played more than 10,000 performances, becoming the third longest-running musical production in West End history. It finally closed in November 2012. The musical has been produced with success on tour, on Broadway and elsewhere, and it has developed a cult following.〔("Blood Brothers celebrates 22nd Birthday" ).
