Prepare yourselves for a night of music and mayhem… The Blues Brothers Approved are coming to town! 

For one night only, a theatrical revival of the 1980 cult movie The Blues Brothers will be hitting the stage at the Grimaldi Forum on 3rd May. 

Starring a new duo in the shoes of Jake and Elwood Blues, characters made famous by Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi, the English language show is set to bring a whole lot of rebellious toe-tapping fun to the Principality.  

The tale is about two parentless brothers who have had more than their fair share of brushes with the law. The pair, sporting black Ray Bans, fedoras and ties, become the unlikely heroes of their childhood orphanage, which is run by a rather sinister nun, as they try to save the establishment by any means necessary.  

The ensuing hilarity comes as they re-form their old band, The Blue Brothers, and end up in all sorts of scrapes while simultaneously coming across some of the best musical talent of the era, such as legendary singers Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. 

In 1995, AMPM Productions brought the magic of this story to the theatre in a tribute show with the tacit blessing of Dan Ackroyd and Judith Belushi, and the result has been a near three decades run of performances all over the world.  

From the Chicago, the “home” city of the brothers, to London’s West End, Europe, Brazil, Australia, Turkey, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, the momentum just keeps on building.
