I saw this very production in London in 1988/89. One of my favourite musicals and one of my favorite songs is Long Sunday Afternoon. Kiki Dee was amazing.
Hi Charlotte I agree with. You I am a female on my husband's login. I. Saw this in London seven years ago and I watch it every night on my huddle it is fantastic love the theatre my. Name is jc
We are doing this in English at the moment .When we watch these clips in lesson ,our teacher skips all the songs ,so I have to go back and listen to the songs so the book makes sense
@@Israel_Augustine I'd actually forgotten about this comment. It appears that my ability to recognise tone of voice through a comment needs some work...😂
I got the CD of this cast and it's thanks to them that I love this musical, although I've never seen it live! It's so great to be able to watch these videos, so thanks a lot for uploading! Also, Bright New Day is one of my favourite songs from the show and Kiki Dee is the only Mrs. Johnstone I've heard that sings that note the octave higher near the end, which I love! :)
This is the original version right? They are just amazing :O this is the very first version I've ever seen, (I mean on RUclips) but it Is by far the best thank you so much! x
@@neptunestardust brechtian theatre otherwise known as epic theatre. The main focus is to educate the audience on a actual issue, and when a character sounds like a child yet sings in a deep mature voice it is meant to remind the audience that what they are watching is not real life its a play. This also gets the audience thinking more about the play itself. Hope this helped 😊
I've always wanted to see this version of the show. The soundtrack cassette tape was my introduction to Blood Brothers. I have seen the show six times and collected various soundtrack cds but, for me, Kiki Dee will always be Mrs J and Con O'Neill Mickey. The show is a lot more polished now, and I love it, but its interesting to see this dark, rawer production. Ive heard that a film is in preproduction. What about Catherine Zeta Jones if they go for a big name? She was great in Chicago
love how he goes from his child voice to that singing voice
Hannah I had a brain fart when that happened lol
Ya gay
Honestly thought that was someone else singing offstage
i like his voice!
dont you tho?
Blue Cherry what’s wrong with that dumbass.?
Excuse me? Mickey's singing voice is a far cry from his talking voice. Oh, wow.
God that super quick change of voice is so amazing. I love this cast.
+skylar rose Con O'Neill :)
I can't believe that over 20 years later, the same person is playing the narrator! I saw him today, what an excellent actor! Fabulous performance!
31 years later time flies huh
Con O Neil has an amazing singing voice! :)
GCSE squad where ya at??
I'm here yo. That mock was fun
Sasha Walker yhhhh
Here!👋🏼
Sasha Walker here, crap! Only 7 school weeks
Here
When mickey started singing I had a brain fart, like, s'cuse me, that voice is a bit too deep for a 7 year old
AVZ_Gone YESSS🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watching this for English class 😂 I actually love it. Marilyn Monroe and Sunday Afternoon have to be my faves.
Yes, I like them too. But for sheer poignancy, 'Tell Me It's Not True', is the most touching.
i’m doing it now and i’m still watching this version for english
the comedy level in this play is so high it's amazing
Reece Shrewsbury I freaking LOVE your name, providing it's real of course
Sunday afternoon has to be the best song in this play 😍

Yeah the narrator Warwick Evans is amazing. I saw him in leeds performance and he's still got it.
0:32 A foreshadowing of what will eventually happen...

he's not 7, he's nearly 8.
Being nearly 8, makes you 7 though, no?
@@EmmaCohen91it’s a joke. In the show, Mickey says that he’s not 7, he’s nearly eight

Liam Pratt thats what im doing for my y9 gcse
Anyone else had a bit of a crush on Micky when they studied this at school??
Lucy Potter ummm yes😂😂😂😂
Yessssss
A big, BIG one !
Dear god, I got whiplash from the sudden change of his voice 💀
I love edward how he sings so meaningful.
Mickeys singing voice😍
Woah that voice change though! Love him fave character
The bestfriend song!💕❤️
Saw this at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1987. Great play. Kikki Dee was the best Mam, in my opinion.
9:53 Ironicly, this may be the happiest thing I've ever seen.
Yes I agree , I didn't realise it was him until a little while after aha ! Brilliant Talent !
This is the original version right? They are just amazing :O this is the very first version I've ever seen, (I mean on RUclips) but it Is by far the best thank you so much! x

the change in voice though
Have to watch this for english lessons in quarantine :(
Same lad
Me and my twin sister saw this show on 7th sep this year she always wonted to see this show it was brill funny and sad exerlent song go again
Ideas people. Why do we reckon there was there no attempt to merge Mickey's speaking voice with his singing voice?
Do you really wanna hear his speaking voice singing
Doing this for my Drama Btec and IM MICKEY, cant wait.
Watching these on English class and I am watching ahead to be on top lol
That VOICE CHANGE
That singing 😰😰😰😘
i love this play

Mrs Innes Legend
He is meant 2 b a kid but his singing voice is waaay 2 mature i mean like from high pitched brat 2 HELLO HUNKY!!!
It's suppose to be like that so the viewer is reminded it's not real
Sheena1234ization
Can you expand on that

You've heard how he talks right would you really want to hear that voice singing
Me watching this in class gave me goosebumps
Hi mr wagg
Does anyone know where I can get a free download of the soundtrack?
hslcon iTunes
Regal queen Xzavier
He said *FREE*
Sephsta Spotify
0:53 What was that arm move by Eddie though?
Waving because he was saying goodbye
@@Taylor_greenwood Thanks, after 1 year i finally got an answer 😂
does anybody know if there is a soundtrack of this version?
On Spotify they have some of the songs
OutsidersRats They did release a 1989 cast recording with this cast 🤗
this annoys me so much because con o'neill plays the best version of mickey but this mrs johnstone is dreadful
No she isn't. She's one of the best and far from 'dreadful' 😒
Welcome to English class revision

Why did mickey sound like 30 when he sang
Cause he actually probably was about that agexD I can’t imagine how hard it is to sing that song in a high pitch voice
@@dang6477 yh same lol
@@dang6477 Just sounding like a 'nearly eight year old' constantly must be killer on his voice
@@mils_3482 oh, you should search for Con O'Neill's voice now. It's turned all husky.
hey drama class
Yep

Haha, damn GCSE's
how did eddie get the role haha
Through talent and hard work
GCSE gang assemble
