The Blues Brothers - Summer Special is a supercharged, rock 'n' roll party, destined to take the capital by storm during its exclusive summer run at The Hippodrome in the heart of the West End. 

Backed by the sassy Staxx Sisters with the tightest rhythm and blues band in the city, this Summer Special features 20 of the most popular rock 'n' roll classics of all time - including Respect, Jailhouse Rock, Soul Man and Do You Love Me? - the show also includes some never-seen-before material created by the star of the original cult classic film Dan Aykroyd, and Judith Belushi.
