REVIEWS
(n.b. All these scenes and monologues will be expanded. This is a template of the movement and changes in the first half of the show, prior to a full developmental period and completion of the script.)
“Expect a lot from this show. Expect to be blown away by 1960s history. The images are as good as the music and the music is great. Expect to enjoy a light show. Joe Allegro/Design International did a fine job on the lighting, and John Brosnan’s media design is superb. Joe Boerst is the sound designer and the sound makes the evening a blast. ”

SAMPLE SCENES FOR ACT 1
'What was original about the Beatles is that they synthesised and transmuted more or less everything. They did this in a way that reflected their time and they reflected their time in a way that spoke to a great part of humanity, and they did all of this really, really well.'
Bill Martin - Music Historian.
This new revised production will embrace this special relationship the Beatles had with their ever changing culture and the effect the culture had in changing the Beatles and their music.
Through monologues and stories from the era set against the back drop of changing sounds, venues, and locations, we witness the growth of the Beatles as writers and musicians alongside the conflicts and changes of the slowly expanding world around them. We see first hand how these conflicts forced the band to grow lyrically and musically to contend with this ever changing landscape and through their music how it then, in turn, influences and accelerates this change.
The most prominent period when this happened was in the early to mid 1960s when it seems that almost everyone, irrespective of age, class or cultural background, listened to the Beatles.
