Immediately after you've seen this musical perfromed at the theatre, this soundtrack becomes a must have! The soundtrack to this musical is flawlessly written and truly captures the emotions displayed on the stage.
This probably wouldn't be a good buy if you have never seen the musical and its impact on you, as the listener, would be greatly reduced as you can't associate it with the stage performance.
The songs on the soundtrack are very varied in style and approach, reflecting the various ages of Mickey and Eddie throughout the musical. From there childhood as naughty, cheeky seven year olds through Kid's Game through their adolescence to their difficult and different adulthoods. The second track, Marilyn Monroe acts as a fantastic insight and introduction to the life into which Mickey is born. The final track, Tell Me It's Not True acts as the most powerful and moving track on the soundtrack and is a sobering reminder of difficult life was and is for some people.
I've never been to a performance of Blood Brothers without crying (which has been quite a few times!!) and the soundtrack brings back many of those feelings!
Basically what I'm trying to say is if your familiar with the songs and enjoyed the musical, this is a must have in your CD collection.
