''[[Blood Brothers]]'' is a musical written by playwright Willy Russell, about twin brothers--Mickey and Eddie--who are [[Separated at Birth]] by their mother, Mrs. Johnstone, who can't afford to raise them both, and her barren employer Mrs. Lyons. They are brought up in two vastly different environments, on opposite ends of the social spectrum. As children, they meet and become best friends, never finding out they are brothers until the day of their untimely demise.
 
Russell is not a trained musician at all, but wanted to write a musical to call his own, and wanted it to be purely his, not a collaboration. Sure enough, it has become one of the most popular and long-running shows in West End history.

'''This musical contains examples of:'''
* [[Anti-Love Song]] - "I'm Not Saying A Word", Eddie's song to Linda about how he's ''not'' going to tell her how he feels about her. It takes a seriously skilled actor to make this song work.
* [[Blood Brothers]] - [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Right there in the title]]. When Mickey and Eddie meet as children, they decide to become [[Blood Brothers]] to solidify their best friend-ship.
