There have many many stage incarnations of the iconic film characters – the Blues Brothers. But the latest production to head this way is presented by original star Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi.

The show features original members from the West End production,  and The Blues Brothers – The Smash Hit – Approved, Live on Stage! brings the classic hits and capers of Jake and Elwood Blues to life.

Armed with new twists, new moves and freshly laundered suits, Jake and Elwood are on a mission to bring ‘Soul and Blues’ to Manchester. Joining them onstage are the fabulous ‘Bluettes’; three sassy ladies with attitude and voices to knock you off your perch and an incredible Blues Brothers band.

As well as some new songs the Blues Brothers will be performing of their classics – “Everybody”, “Gimme Some Lovin”, “Think”, “Shake a Tailfeather”, “Sweet Home Chicago” and many more. 

The Blues Brothers – The Smash Hit – Approved, Live on Stage! is at the Manchester Opera House from 7 – 11 May.
