As we approach the golden anniversary of Beatlemania, NOW is the time to celebrate one rockin’ blast from the past with Abbey Road. 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, Abbey Road will get you up on your feet and dancing. The Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show remains one of the most iconic moments in music history, as 73 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!
With their tight harmonies, flawless renditions, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to detail, Abbey Road 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.”
