The Blues Brothers: Xmas Special at Arts Theatre

Why see The Blues Brothers: Xmas Special?

Back for the festive season

The Blues Brothers are back for Christmas! For a limited period, enjoy the rollicking adventures of Jake and Elwood Blues as they tear through rock 'n' roll, the blues and soul music in the hit musical that will include a few new numbers specially added for the festive season. Joined by the fabulous Bluettes, this is a fast-paced festive treat that will have fans of the original musical dancing in the aisles. Featuring the best-loved tunes including Gimme Some Lovin', Think, Soul Man, Minnie The Moocher and Jailhouse Rock, this is the perfect treat for the rock fan in your life!

From SNL to the West End (via the movie!)

Originally created in 1976 by American comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushim, The Blue Brothers served as part of a musical sketch on the long-running TV show Saturday Night Live. Since then it has spawned a hit 1980 musical film as well as various incarnations on stage over the past 35 years, doing especially well in London's West End.

The stage musical has achieved cult theatre status by its extraordinary attention to detail. From its pared-back setting, the extravagant light show, the multi-talented live band on stage, everything combines to recreate the early Eighties party vibe that leaves you breathless and smiling from ear to ear. So grab your fedoras and sunglasses for a chance to experience the Blues Brothers at Christmas!
