There should be different settings and time spans being indicated by lighting changes and no cumbersome scene changes to allow the play to flow along easily and smoothly. The focus is on the events of the play and the relationships between the characters, rather than appearances. This allows the audience to focus their attention on the play’s central themes and ideas and be drawn into the emotion of the play, without being distracted by scene changes. Hopes are high as three of Mr Russell's other plays, Educating Rita, Shirley Valentine and Stags and Hens (as Dancin' Thru The Dark) were turned into films and proved great hits with critics and audiences alike. Blood Brothers originally opened at London’s Lyric Theatre in 1983, winning two Olivier Awards including Best New Musical. The musical last played in the West End at the Phoenix Theatre and ran for an impressive 21 years, with over 10,000 performances, and coming to an end in November 2021. It’s time this beloved show made a return to the West End! Blood Brothers cast and creative Councillor Marie Goldman, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Connected Chelmsford, says Blood Brothers is just the start of the council’s programming ambition: Noughts and Crosses: Performers' physical interpretation of character (build, age, height, facial features, movement, posture, gesture, facial expression)
