BRISTOL, TN —"In My Life — A Musical Theatre Tribute" to the Beatles is the nationally touring musical biography of the Beatles through the eyes of manager Brian Epstein, featuring the live music of tribute band, Beatles For Sale. The show is widely considered by industry insiders to be the most unique Beatles show in decades. "In My Life" comes to the Paramount Center for the Arts on Sunday, March 8 at 5 pm.
More than just a Beatles tribute concert, "In My Life" gives the audience a chance to “be there” at pivotal moments in the career of the Beatles: Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, "The Ed Sullivan Show," Shea Stadium, Abbey Road Studios and the final live performance on the rooftop of their Apple Corp offices. With manager Brian Epstein serving as narrator, "In My Life" allows the audience to get a glimpse inside the world of the Beatles from their point of view. Historical settings such as the Cavern Club are established on stage with videos and images which play behind the actors and musicians on a video screen.
"In My Life" takes the audience back to February 1964 when America watched the Beatles for the first time on "The Ed Sullivan Show,"playing “I WantTo Hold Your Hand.” Progressing through their various musical stages, the audience re-experiences the psychedelic era of"Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band," the creation of “Blackbird” and the raucous rock and roll of “Revolution.”
The production portrays the Beatles—John Lennon (Jonathon Fickes), Paul McCartney (Joshua Jones), George Harrison (Robert Berg) and Ringo Starr (Richard Lewis)—as authentically as possible, from their singing to the myriad guitars used throughout the band’s decade-long career. The cast members are age appropriate for the Beatles, between 19 — 30 years of age.
“The show delivers!” said the L.A. Times. “If you see one tribute show, see this one – smart and loads of fun,” said the O.C. Register. “This is the ticket for you,” said the Idaho Statesman. “The most original of all the shows on the Beatles,” San Diego Theatre Review.
