 More than just a Beatles tribute concert, In My Life gives the audience the chance to “be there” at pivotal moments in the extraordinary 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, as well as hear some of the greatest songs ever written. 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.

With their tight harmonies, flawless renditions, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to detail, they recreate the magic of The Beatles, including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities and familiar onstage banter.  Progressing through their various musical stages, the audience re-experiences the psychedelic era of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the creation of the haunting “Blackbird” and the raucous rock and roll of “Revolution.”

 

As we approach the 50^th anniversary of the British Invasion, NOW is the time to celebrate one rockin’ blast from the past with In My Life. Don’t miss this true story of the very first and most successful quartet of all time. Relive the songs you came to love, as you’re transported back in time for one special night. Whether you were old enough to remember The Beatles or a new fan, In My Life will get you up on your feet and dancing in the aisles.

The Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show remains one of the most iconic moments in music history, as 78 million Americans were glued to their televisions. February 9, 2014 will mark the Golden Anniversary of that golden moment. Join us as we relive that unforgettable time in music to the sounds of “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” a song that first played in America on December 17, 1963 at a Washington, D.C. radio station. From then on, these ordinary boys from across the pond were catapulted into record-breaking stardom!  

The four musician/actors cast to play John, Paul, George and Ringo were selected from 220 Beatle tribute musicians and are age appropriate for the Beatles (22 – 32 years of age). The band features Chris Paul Overall ("Paul"), Gregory Wilmot ("John"), Jesse Wilder ("George") and Axel Clarke ("Ringo"). Brian Epstein is played by Alxander Jon.

“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.
