Opening at Theatre Royal Bath, the musical continues touring after its 2017 run celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Songs include "A Bright New Day", "Marilyn Monroe" and "Tell Me It's Not True".
Paul performed the role in the final nights of the show's run at the Phoenix Theatre in London. Her career includes being a member of band New Seekers and starring as Fraulein Schneider in Cabaret, as well as Boy George's musical Taboo.
Russell's other credits include Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine. The show runs between 16 and 20 January in Bath before heading to Belfast, Weston-super-Mare, Aylesbury, Darlington, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Carlisle, Barnstaple and more.
Blood Brothers begins its 2018 UK tour on 16 January at the Theatre Royal Bath.
