Beatlemania is set to invade here on July 7, when the new, international touring show “Beatlemania Revisted” takes the stage.
The theatrical event features a combination of talented European and North American cast members in the roles of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Leading the cast is the incomparable Yuri Pool, who has been hailed by Beatles promoter Sid Bernstein as “The best McCartney vocalist in the world today.”
Ringo Starr will be played by UK native Mark Matthews, now a Canadian citizen and 2010 Juno Award winner, while Rob Kay, best known for his work with Herman’s Hermits stars as George Harrison, and European Colum Henry plays John Lennon.
All songs in the show are performed “note for note” by the cast members who are further augmented with full costumes, vintage instruments and equipment.
The evening focuses on the actual live performances of the Beatles, kicking off with their famous 1964 appearance on the Ed Sullivan television show. In total, over 30 Beatles songs are featured throughout the evening, creating a family-oriented, interactive performance.
“The Fergus Grand Theatre is a very intimate venue with excellent acoustics, so it truly gives Beatles fans an opportunity to see and hear this wonderful show at its very best,” said Henry.
Tickets for the July 7 “Beatlemania Revisted” show are $25 plus taxes. Showtime is 8pm. Tickets are available online at www.FergusGrandTheatre.ca or by calling the box office at 519-787-1981.
