This production is recommended for audience of all ages.
2 hrs. 20 mins., including intermission
FROM ED SULLIVAN TO ABBEY ROAD! – They look like them and they sound just like them! “The next best thing to seeing The Beatles,” raves The Denver Post. All the music and vocals are performed totally live! RAIN covers the Fab Four from the earliest beginnings through the psychedelic late 60s and their longhaired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience...a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups. “A thrilling bit of time-warping nostalgia…Boomer Heaven!” raves The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Uncanny! RAIN are a quartet of fine musicians in their own right…as The Beatles, they triumph!” cheers The Boston Herald. “An adoring Valentine to The Beatles,” declares The Washington Post. Sing along with your family and friends to such Beatlemaniac favorites as “Let It Be,” “Hey Jude,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Come Together” and “Can’t Buy Me Love.”

RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles - May 10-12, 2012
WHAT’S IT ABOUT? RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles is much more of a concert event than a play with music, so there is no real plot. Instead, the show lets history speak for itself. RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles follows the career of The Beatles from the British invasion and their landmark performances on ”The Ed Sullivan Show” and at Shea Stadium through their final albums Abbey Road and Let it Be. The mood is set with original film footage and TV commercials from the 1960s, and over the course of show, the musicians who play John, Paul, George and Ringo evolve with their music, going from mop tops to bell bottoms and peace signs.
SHOULD I SEE IT? Because RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles is such a concert-like experience, it’s amuch more laid back atmosphere than a traditional Broadway show. The audience is invited to dance and clap along, and if you’re up for a good sing-a-long, this is a show after your heart.
IS RAIN GOOD FOR KIDS? RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatl es is great for music fans of all ages. Though there are plenty of hippie ideas, they are stripped ofsex and drugs references, leaving only rock ‘n’ roll. Kids will enjoy the chance to sing and dance along, so if you’re a Beatles fan you can enjoy the show, whether you’re old enough to remember them at Shea Stadium or young enough not to know what Shea Stadium was. This production is recommended for audience of all ages.
