Ring in the New Year with the Blood Brothers

BAC group member St. Thomas Aquinas’ Regional Arts Program‘s Grade 12 drama majors are performing the musical Blood Brothers to open their Grade 12 theatre season.

Diego Viteri and Jordan Kahn play Mickey

 and Edward – the Blood Brothers!

The musical Blood Brothers is a rags-to-riches story that makes a haunting musical. Mrs. Johnstone, deserted by her husband and with children to feed, learns she is expecting twins, whom she cannot possibly afford to keep. What unravels is a tale that will have the audience laughing and crying through a web of situations and circumstances all held together by a narrator that intrudes like fate reminding all of us the price to be paid for the choices we make.

Blood Brothers was written by Willy Russell, a playwright from England, who originally wrote it as a school play in 1981.  The musical opened in 1983 at the Liverpool Playhouse and won an Olivier Award for Best New Musical.  The Broadway production opened on April 25, 1993 at the Music Box Theatre.  Petula Clark made her Broadway debut as Mrs. Johnstone, with real-life brothers David and Shaun Cassidy as her sons. Clark and the Cassidys’ also recorded the international cast album, with Willy Russell as the Narrator. The musical has been playing in theatres across the globe ever since.

Blood Brothers will be performed on January 8, 9, & 10 at 7:30 PM in the Brian Dunn Theatre located in the school on 25 Corporation Drive. The season continues with the Greek Tragedy ELECTRA on April 30^th, May 1^st and 2^nd. Tickets are 8$ for students and 12$ for adults. They can be purchased at the door or contact John Thomas at john.thomas@dpcdsb.org.

St. Thomas Aquinas’ graduating Drama Majors look forward to seeing you there!
