The autumn tour dates for the ongoing production of Blood Brothers have been revealed.

Blood Brothers tells the story of twins separated at birth, who grow up on the opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences. The musical features such standards as “A Bright New Day”, ”Marilyn Monroe” and “Tell Me It’s Not True”.

The creative team is led by director Bob Tomson and resident director Tim Churchill, and includes musical supervisor Matt Malone, sound designer Dan Samson, set and costume designer Andy Walmsley and lighting designer Nick Richings.

The tour kicks off at Milton Keynes Theatre in Milton Keynes (27 to 30 Aug), followed by a run at the Opera House in Buxton (2 to 5 Sep). Next, the production heads to the Theatre Royal in Nottingham (9 to 13 Sept), then to the Queen’s Theatre in Barnstaple (16 to 20 Sept). It continues at the Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent (23 to 27 Sept), and then to Theatr Clwyd in Mold (30 Sep to 4 Oct). The show moves on to the Lighthouse Theatre in Poole (7 to 11 Oct), the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham (14 to 18 Oct), and the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon (21 to 25 Oct).
