AN award-winning production of the Blues Brothers is coming to Runcorn’s Brindley theatre this evening.

The Chicago Blues Brothers is described as a high-octane, adrenaline-pumping musical mash-up that presents the best material from the original Blues Brothers movies.

The show is jam-packed with songs by legends such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Cab Calloway – plus many other blues, soul, Motown and funk classics and a few surprises thrown in along the way.

It is said to capture the sound, energy and persona that propelled the film to a cult status that still thrills audiences worldwide today.

Back with a brand new production, with an all new elaborate stage set, the Chicago Blues Brothers are taking you back to 1980 to finish the concert at the Palace Hotel Ballroom.

This show is a powerhouse two-hour song-fest with over 40 hits performed live on stage in the concert that never finished.

The show is a joyous hoot, a musical riot, a juiced-up jamboree of the coolest, funkiest soul, blues and Motown hits performed with style, class and showmanship by a troupe of some of the finest entertainers working in modern musical theatre.

Tickets priced £24.50, £19.50 are available from the box office on 0151 907 8360 and online at thebrindley.org.uk.
