Beatles anniversary to be marked by new West End show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 2 April 2012
A new West End show will open in London later this year featuring songs by The Beatles to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of their first ever single ‘Love Me Do’.
The first time a West End show has been given permission to use Beatles-composed songs, ‘Let It Be’ will tell the story of the Fab Four’s rise to fame with video clips and live performances of songs like ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Day Tripper’, ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ and ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.
The show is being devised by a company called Rain Productions, which previously turned its Beatles tribute act into a Broadway show. The new West End musical will open on 14 Sep and run for four months.
