Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) is thrilled to announce the headline cast for the international smash hit musical, Blood Brothers, which will be coming to the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre this summer.

This production will see Vivienne Carlyle returning to the iconic role of Mrs. Johnstone, having received nightly standing ovations for her powerful and poignant performance in the West End production. Joe Sleight and local actor Sean Jones return to the production as twins Mickey and Eddie, with Gemma Brodrick reprising the role of Linda.

Also returning to the cast for 2024 are Sarah Jane Buckley (Mrs Lyons), Scott Anson (Narrator), Tim Churchill (Mr Lyons), Chloe Pole (Donna Marie), Alex Harland (Policeman/Teacher), Graeme Kinniburgh (Postman/Bus Conductor) and Jess Smith (Brenda), with James Ledsham (Sammy), Ben Mabberley (Perkins) and Dominic Gore (Neighbour) joining the production.

Award-winning playwright Willy Russell’s epic tale of Liverpool life started as a play, performed at a Liverpool comprehensive school in 1981, before opening as a musical at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983. It has since triumphed across the globe, completing sell out seasons in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. Few musicals have been received with such acclaim as the multi-award-winning Blood Brothers, scooping up four awards for Best Musical in London and seven Tony Award nominations on Broadway.

Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins separated at birth, who grow up on the opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences.

The superb score includes A Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

Jamie Groves, Managing Director of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, said: “We are delighted to bring the legendary production of Blood Brothers to Rhyl Pavilion Theatre this August. This iconic musical has captivated audiences around the world, and we are delighted to provide our community with the opportunity to experience such a renowned and powerful performance. It promises to be a memorable event, and we look forward to welcoming both regular theatre-goers and new audiences to this great show this summer.”
