"Fantastic"
"A truly gritty story-line, with excellent cast which contributed greatly to our enjoyment of this short break. Wished I had seen it sooner. If you have seen and liked Billy Elliott, Blood Brothers is on a par."

"Worth going to see"
"The show was worth going to see but didn`t give me the wow factor other shows I have seen have done. We were quite disappointed with the seats we had they were at the very back of the theatre and this spoilt our enjoyment as we missed some things going on on the stage!"

"the show overall was very good. Sad from start to finish so hankies essential. a bit more work required on the "Scouse" accent for the lead singer, but her voice is very powerful. i found the microphones stuck to the foreheads of all the cast to be a little annoying and it did take my focus away from the performance a bit. it was very funny in parts and some of the jokes were really good. however i`m from Birkenhead so got all of them, but i noticed that many around me didn`t get the significance of a some. i would recomend seeing Blood Brothers, i enjoyed it so much, it`s certainly worth a visit."

"Disapointed"
"The show was not what i epected i have wanted to see it now for over 2 years and i was disapointed. Considering poeple kept having kids these were never seen and i also dont understand they kept singing about maralyin monroe??? In addition to thus the narrator goes on about her selling her other baby well she never picked up the money and the narrator kept it in his pocket therefore she never sold her baby he also poses the question near the end of the perormance did they end up the way they did because of class differences well to my mind that was a bit of a daft question it ended as it did because of mickeys lack of cognitive tinking skills and inability to take his wifes feelings on board paranoia and jealousy which arenot class specific, In my opinion the play has an excellent gritty storyline but it was portrayed in an unrealistic light hearted way."
