Commentaires : The Blues Brothers never existed in real life: Con O’Neill & Warwick Evans were characters played by John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd in the 1980 film of the same name. Over the years Belushi acquired posthumous cult status and the film itself inspired this spin-off. Neither a concert nor a performance, and rather oddly Anglicised so that it was emphatically a “tribute” to the Blues Brothers rather than a breach of any American copyright, the critics generally thought the backing chorus (The Bluettes) were the best thing about the show. However, audiences loved it, and the show ran for ten months before going on a UK and European tour. It then came back into the West End in September 1994.
