Region: Wanaka

Experience the Drama, Music, and Magic of Blood Brothers.
A gripping tale of family, fate, and identity, Blood Brothers is a musical like no other — and it’s coming to WÄnaka for the very first time!
This celebrated production by Willy Russell has captured hearts worldwide and now takes the stage in a powerful new performance by Onstage WÄnaka, the town’s new community theatre group.
Set in working-class Liverpool, the story follows twin brothers separated at birth — one raised in wealth, the other in poverty. Reunited by chance, they become best friends with no idea of their true connection. As they grow up, the gap between their lives widens, leading to heartbreak and tragedy.
With unforgettable music, humour, and emotional storytelling, Blood Brothers is both entertaining and deeply moving — a must-see for theatre lovers and newcomers alike.
Featuring a cast of talented local performers, this show is a celebration of WÄnaka’s growing arts scene and a testament to the power of community-driven creativity.
Join us for this iconic musical and help support the rise of local theatre in the Upper Clutha region.
Tickets available soon.
