Maureen Nolan taking over from Lyn Paul in Blood Brothers

The Willy Russell musical Blood Brothers has announced a cast change for next month when ex-New Seekers member Lyn Paul leaves the show on 20th November and Maureen Nolan (looking rather more glamorous than the role requires on the left) takes over as Mrs Johnston at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End from 22nd November 2010.

Four of the Nolan sisters have played this role at various times, with Maureen first performing it at the Phoenix Theatre between 2005 and 2006 and then joining the nationwide tour in 2009.

On the tour of Blood Brothers Spice Girl Mel C is due to reprise the same role which she played earlier this year then the production plays at the Liverpool Empire next month from 8th-20th November.

Blood Brothers is currently booking until  26th November 2011
