Beatle Tribute Band to Perform at Westchester Broadway Theatre

The tribute band “Beatlemania Now,” on a national tour, will appear for one night at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford on November 16, 2015.

The group brings back the legendary songs and classic music of the extraordinary English band from Liverpool that burst into the musical world in 1960, revolutionized rock music, and earned everlasting fame as the Beatles.

Along the way, the quartet acquired the nickname “The Fab Four.” The Beatles broke up as an act in 1970.

• Scot Michael Arch (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica and keyboard) as John Lennon
  

• Graham Alexander (bass guitar, acoustic guitar and piano) as Paul McCartney
  
• Eric James Smith (drums and percussion) as Ringo Starr
  
• Christopher Colon (electric guitar, acoustic guitar) and sitar as George Harrison.

Attendees can attend the dinner and show at $84 per person plus tax and tip or the show only for $50 plus tax.

Bringing children to the show?

Children with limited knowledge of the Beatles can be introduced to their many achievements by reading “Fab Four Friends,” written by Susanna Reich who grew up in Hastings-on-Hudson and resides in Ossining. The illustrated book was released by publisher Christy Ottaviano/Henry Holt in August, 2015 and is available at amazon.com and bookstores. Reich is also the author of “Minette’s Feast: The Delicious Story of Julia Child and Her Cat” and her first book was “Clara Schumann, Piano Virtuoso.”

In her book about the Beatles, Reich describes how the four boys from families with a working class background got started, developed a strong work ethic, had a sense of humor, and rose to fame. Her website is www.susannareich.com.
