A Note to Our Audience
Blood Brothers is a powerful and emotionally charged musical that deals with complex themes, including family separation, class inequality, mental health, sexual references, and violence. It also contains moments of high dramatic intensity, smoke haze and gunshot sound effects. While these moments are handled thoughtfully within the narrative, some scenes may be confronting. We encourage audience discretion.

Blood Brothers — the legendary British musical hailed as “the standing ovation musical” — returns to Christchurch in a strictly limited season.
From the creator of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, this Olivier Award-winning phenomenon tells the gripping story of Mickey and Edward — twins separated at birth, raised in different worlds, but bound together by fate with devastating consequences.
A mother’s heartbreaking choice, a friendship that defies class, a love triangle tangled in secrets, and a haunting superstition that says twins parted must pay a terrible price.
With an unforgettable score and an ending that stops audiences in their tracks, Blood Brothers is a raw, moving tale of family, love, and the questions that haunt us all: are we truly free to choose, or is our fate already sealed?
From the team who brought you Come From Away, Mamma Mia!, Kinky Boots and Matilda — this is the must-see musical event for 2025.
On stage at the Isaac Theatre Royal, 18–27 September. Book now — before destiny catches up.
