Marti Pellow Joins West End Blood Brothers as Narrator

Marti Pellow is returning to the West End stage to play the Narrator in Willy Russell‘s long-running musical Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre for a limited season.

Pellow, who is fresh from an eight-month UK tour playing the title roles in the musical Jekyll and Hyde, will begin performances on 1 November 2011.

Blood Brothers, which premiered in 1983 and has been at
the West End’s Phoenix theatre since 1991, tells the story of twin boys
separated at birth, only to be re-united by a twist of fate and a
mother’s haunting secret. The score includes “A Bright New Day”,
“Marilyn Monroe” and the emotionally charged finale song “Tell Me It’s
Not True”.

 
Since rising to fame as the lead singer of Wet Wet Wet, Marti Pellow has built a successful theatre career, with credits including Chicago (West End) and The Witches of Eastwick (tour), and co-starring with Josh Groban in the Chess in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
