Melanie returns to Blood Brothers in Liverpool from the 8th November in a two week run with the touring cast. She will be reprising her role as Mrs Johnstone with exciting news.
Just as she is rehearsing Melanie has announced the news that she is nominated for an Evening Standard Theatre Award for her outstanding perfomance at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End.
Adding to her Laurence Olivier nomination earlier this year, The Milton Shulman Award for Outstanding Newcomer, once again highlights Melanie’s impressive stage debut which won critical acclaim.
The shortlists will be published a week before the awards, where winners will be announced at the Savoy in London on November 28.
I was there for Melanie’s final performance in the West End and it was fantastic. The emotion she gave throughout the show was brilliant and the last scene was full of raw and real feeling. She truly can act as well as sing to the roof tops.
As a fan of the show, I have seen it over 8 times and only Bernie Nolan’s perfomance even comes close to Melanie. I will be seeing the show in Liverpool on Monday 15th November and can not wait to see Melanie perform in her home town.
Has anyone seen Melanie in Blood Brothers and do you agree with her nominations?
