I've just got back from seeing Blood Brothers for the 4th time (Yes, I'm slightly obsessed, it's my favourite musical and if I ever got back into acting and magically had the ability to sing, my dream role would be to play Mickey.) Below may contain spoilers, so if you're planning to see it and don't want it spoiled, look away now.
First off, Maureen Nolan was Mrs Johnstone. I seen her sister, Bernie a few years ago and she was quite good, not the best, but ok. The other 2 times were Barbara Dickson and Lyn Paul. Obviously there isn't any better than them. You mention Mrs Johnstone to anyone and 90% of the time, one of them 2 is the actress they will associate her with. But Maureen Nolan, while she was good, getting all the emotions down to a tee, she wasn't without fault. Her accent kept slipping and she was putting the emphasis on all the wrong syllables, I found it rather distracting, but maybe I picked up on it a bit too much because I share that accent and hear it every day. I also thought her voice wasn't exactly strong enough, it kept breaking a little in certain points, maybe she was just having an off day or had a sore throat or something. Maybe it was just nerves of trying to get it right in its home town I don't know, but for me while the portrayal of the character and emotions were very good, I was a little let down by the vocal aspects.
The rest of the cast were marvellous though, the 2 highlights for me were Sean Jones as Mickey and Warwick Evans as the Narrator.
I'll start with Mr Evans. The Narrator in Blood Brothers has always been a really interesting character for me, I think he sets the tone for the show, without the Narrator I really don't think the show would be the same. Usually in plays you can take the narrator out, add a few more lines for the main characters, or set the scene in a different way and nobody will notice the difference. I really don't like Narrator characters usually, but Blood Brothers is different. The Narrator not only helps the story along, he acts as such a physical character and does actually mean a lot to the story. He stays on stage for most of the performance, just watching. Whether it's from a little balcony above, or at the side of the stage, he is there. This is where Warwick's real genius talents come in. In other versions I have seen, the Narrator is barely noticeable when he isn't actually speaking (or singing). You do know he's there, but he's usually just overlooking. Warwick takes it that step further, I noticed myself glancing at him a couple of times every scene where he was chuckling or throwing a glance at a character. It doesn't distract you from the scene, but it does amplify aspects of it. I could go to see it again and just keep my eyes on Warwick the whole performance, he really does steal the show. Another reason I enjoyed his portrayal is the real darkness and deep tone he brought to it. Other narrators have brought that before, but I feel Warwick just gets it spot on.
Finally, Mickey. I mentioned before how I love this character and I would love to play him, so I admit now that every time I watch someone in the part of Mickey, I deconstruct it all and think about what I would do differently. I'm not saying Sean Jones played it exactly the way I would have, of course not. But it was the closest that anyone has came to how I see him. Before I get too deep, I'll start from the beginning. Young Mickey, the childhood charm, the energy, the (almost) innocence. It was such a pleasure to watch him (as it was all the children). So energetic, so physical. He had me in stitches laughing at a few points. He really was brilliant. Then we get into the second act, Mickeys teenage years and most importantly, his adulthood. This is where the deconstruction really starts. His depression, his descent into madness leading up to the shocking climax. Every other Mickey I have seen has rather annoyed me at this point, for me, they focus too much on the mad man part of it and you don't really see the broken element. The tale of a man who's slowly losing everything that ever mattered to him, then his reaction to finding out Eddie is his brother. To me, in the past they move too quickly. They have Mickey losing his job and being all cold, then realising he's got nothing to lose helping Sammy, then the depression in jail (which on one occassion was completely over played in my eyes, he was shaking, he was starting to lose it already whereas it should be just nothingness. It's like he went into the madman too soon.) Then the on edge and withdrawal symptoms and anger at Linda for hiding his pills, Then full on anger at Eddie and Linda. Then full on hysterical madman in the last scene. There was no real link between them, but with Sean you went on that journey with him, you seen the changes and they were very slight. I mean the last scene, that's where my true disappointment usually lies. In the past, the depression and tbh the whole character of Mickey has left in the past seen and as I mentioned before, actors usually play it as hysterical madness. He isn't just a madman, he is a broken man. This I think really came across with Sean. You could see him working everything out in his head, you could see him coming to realisations, getting more and more upset and angry. With other actors, they just shout the lines, and there's no real connection, there's no sympathy for Mickey, you feel more frightened of him, and Mickey is a character you're meant to feel sorry for, not frightened of. Even in the last scene. Yeah, you're worried for Eddie, but you can see how hard it's been for Mickey. Then the last little speech, well really the last line is always the thing that has upset me with other portrayals. The "I could have been him." Most of the time that is screamed in anger at Mrs Johnstone with no time for thought at all, but with the fantastic Sean Jones, there was just a small fraction of a second where you see the realisation on his face that he has been lied to, he has been deceived and his life could have went in a completely different direction. and thats what tips him over the edge. You can hear the sorrow and sort of envy in his voice instead of pure anger. It was really heartbreaking. That is why Mr Sean Jones takes my vote for the greatest Mickey ever.
