There was a hint of spice to Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers when the touring production arrived at Liverpool’s Empire Theatre last week.
Former Spice Girl Melanie C returned to the role of the iconic Mrs Johnstone fresh from her massive success in the West End. Melanie leaves behind her girl band days completely with this role and award nominations for this part show that Sporty was definitely the talented member.
Melanie was delighted to reprise her role of Mrs J. for her home crowd and allowed herself a break from recording her fifth solo album.
Since the show began in 1983 the people of Liverpool have really welcomed the show as a part of their culture. It’s a spectacular show with real gritty drama and a fantastic musical score.
