The Cast originally started when the members of the ending Broadway show were let go as the show came to a conclusion in late 1979. Those four members (Lenie Colacino, Richie Gomez, Mike Palaikis and Bob Forte) started The Cast and the same group name has been in existence since the early 1980s.

The Cast was individually selected from hundreds of musicians who auditioned from all over the U.S. for the Broadway show, Beatlemania. This current incarnation of the show is the most popular version since inception, having retained the same members for the longest period of time. Doors open at 5:30. The show starts at 7PM with comedian Howie Mason. Tickets can be purchased at the door or choose your seats online and print your tickets at home at www.MilfordPerformanceCenter.org. The Milford Performance Center is located at the corner of W. Main Street & W. River Street in the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in the Parsons Govt. Center.
