Blood Brothers

The audience starts off knowing the twins are doomed to death. The story then plays out, beginning with the bouncy song of a young man telling a young woman that she looks a little bit like Maraliyn Monroe, but soon things are not so fine. Mrs. Johnstone's husband leaves her with so many children that they can barely get by on her salary. She then finds out she is expecting twins. She is complaining to her employer, a woman for whom she is a housekeeper, when her employer gets the idea that she could have one of the babies. She reassures the supersticious Mrs. Johnstone, but it is innevitable that if either twin found out they should both die at that moment. The boys happen to meet one day as children. Their lifestyles are already quite different, with one living an upper-class life. They become best friends and decide to be blood brothers since they have the same birthday.The upper-class twin's mother becomes scared when she finds out. Mrs. Johnstone on the other hand always has a soft spot in her heart for the boy she knows is of her blood. Somehow, despite their parents, the boys remain friends as they reach adulthood, but the one Mrs. Johnstone kept becomes increasingly depressed with his life  and therefore jelous. He starts taking pain killers, like Maraliyn Monroe. Then, one day while the one who recieved a good education is at the office, the other one shows up ready to shoot. The police, accompanied by the mothers, arrive. In the moment of desperation, Mrs. Johnson tells her son that he should not shoot him because he is his brother and the story quickly comes out. This dosn't help the situation  because the mad son asks, "Why did you choose him and not me?" Suddenly, all of the guns shoot, leaving two dead brothers. Mrs Johnson then sings "Tell Me It's Not True" and the show ends.
