Official Blues Brother Revue to Open at Merrimack Hall Performing Arts Center, 2/17

Thirty years after the famous movie's debut, the Blues Brothers live on in The Official Blues Brothers Revue, starring Wayne Catania as Jake and Kieron Lafferty as Elwood. This Blues Brothers Revue is the only show to be officially sanctioned by Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi Pisano, wife of the late John Belushi. The Official Blues Brothers Revue combines the comedy, music and mayhem from the original movie, as well as songs from the five albums put out by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

The hit movie The Blues Brothers was a loveable tale of redemption about the pair of paroled convicts, who set out to save the Catholic orphanage in which they grew up, from the taxation department. As the story goes, they re-formed their rhythm and blues band, the Blues Brothers, and organized a concert to raise $5,000 to pay off the debt and save the day. But things never went according to plan for Jake and Elwood, and their story evolved into a rollicking journey of misadventure, and one of best loved movies of all time.

The Blues Brother Revue plays February 17th-19th. Tickets are $40 Adults, $37 Seniors (60+). Call (256) 534-6455 or visit www.merrimackhall.com to purchase tickets.
