Blood Brothers- Alhambra Theatre, Bradford

[handygran]

A friend & I went to see Blood Brothers last night in Bradford. Does anyone know who is playing Mrs Johnston in the show. We were told it was Linda Nolan but it wasn't. It looked like one of The Liver Birds from years back. Was it Elizabeth Esteson? The show was brilliant though, would recommend it.

I saw this show earlier this year,in Liverpool,and Mrs Johnstone was played by Lyn Paul

No it wasn't Lyn Paul and I don't think it was Elizabeth Estenson now because she is in Emmerdale but she looked very much like her. Anyone got a programme ? We were only there 5 mins before start so hadn't time to get one.

When it comes to carlisle in november it will be marti webb, it wasnt her was it.

Right ive just googled blood brothers at bradford and found a newspaper article that said it was linda nolan, the paper had interviewed her sister bernie nolan who will be in flashdance.

[handygran]

Yes it was Marti Webb, it wasn't Linda Nolan because that is who we expected it to be. Maybe she was having a break and Marti took over.Thaqnks madboutcats.

I mean "Thanks".

[madboutcats]

I only know its marti webb when it comes to carlisle as i happened to see a banner hanging from the building where blood brothers will be. Its a great musical, very moving. Now im on a mission to track down who will be playing mary poppins when it goes to edinburgh in october.
