Overview

The musical Blood Brothers is a critically acclaimed and intensely emotional tale by Willy Russell about a pair of twin boys separated at birth. Raised in starkly different social and economic circumstances—one by his wealthy birth mother and the other by his impoverished true mother—the boys are bound by a strange and tragic fate. The story follows their lives from childhood innocence to adult tragedy, exploring themes of class, fate, and the profound impact of environment on destiny.

The 2026 Japanese production features a double-cast system for the twins, ensuring dynamic and alternating performances. The pairs are Kobayashi Ryota x Yamada Kento and Watanabe Aoi x Shima Taisei. This arrangement brings a fresh perspective to the beloved show, which is a staple of musical theatre worldwide. The production begins its run at Theatre Crea in Tokyo before moving to the Sankei Hall Breeze in Osaka.
