It has been confirmed that singing sensation Maureen Nolan is to return in the coveted lead role of Mrs Johnstone for the 2009 National Tour of Blood Brothers, reprising a role she performed for two years in 2005/2006. Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving story of twin boys separated at birth, only to be re-united by a twist of fate and a mother's haunting secret. The memorable score includes A Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It's Not True. The celebrated role of Mrs Johnstone has previously been played by such well-known actresses as Stephanie Lawrence, Clodagh Rodgers, Kiki Dee, Lyn Paul, Siobhan McCarthy, and three of Maureen's sisters (Linda, Bernie and Denise). The production has been running in London's West End since July 1988. In the USA, it has had a record-breaking Broadway run, a hugely successful coast-to-coast tour, and was nominated for seven Tony Awards. The latest tour of Bill Kenwright's acclaimed production opened in Plymouth and will be touring the UK throughout the year. |  Maureen Nolan in Blood Brothers |
