Beatlemania NOW! Preview

Posted by Charlee Redman on 03/18 at 11:43 PM

Beatlemania NOW! is a fab four cover group that looks and sounds just like they time traveled straight out of the swinging 60s.

Complete with seven costume and set changes, this group first reenacts the early days of Beatlemania and then moves to create their own interpretation of what The Beatles live experience would have been like had they not chose to stick to strictly studio work.  Beginning with the conservative black suits and mop tops of the early stages of the worldwide phenomenon, these four lads take you through the beginnings of The Beatles creative developments, into the psychedelic era, and finish off with the last days of John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s unprecedented influence.  This show, however, is not simply a Beatles cover show.  What differentiates this group from the many other Beatles inspired groups is that they truly aim to give you a taste of the era. An era in which The Beatles played an incredible part while acting as the driving force behind several cultural, social, and musical trends.
