Onstage Wānaka is proud to present Blood Brothers, the internationally acclaimed musical by Willy Russell.

Set in Liverpool, Blood Brothers is a powerful and emotional story exploring themes of class, fate, and family. The musical follows the lives of twin brothers, Mickey and Edward, who are separated at birth—one raised in hardship by their birth mother, Mrs. Johnstone, and the other in wealth and privilege by Mrs. Lyons. Unaware they are siblings, the boys become close friends, but their starkly different upbringings set them on dramatically contrasting life paths.

This gripping musical features unforgettable songs, a compelling narrative, and a mysterious narrator who reveals the tragic direction of their intertwined destinies. Originally written as a play in 1981 and later adapted into one of the longest-running musicals in West End history, Blood Brothers continues to captivate audiences around the world.

Bringing a production like Blood Brothers to life is no small feat — and it simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. Their generosity allows us to deliver a high-quality, community-driven theatre experience to local audiences, keeping the arts thriving in Wānaka. From costumes and sets to lighting and promotion, every aspect of the show is uplifted thanks to their contribution.

Join us for this powerful production that promises to move, entertain, and inspire - Lake Wānaka Centre, 8th- 16th August 2025.
