The Beatlemania Again stage show has performed to sold-out venues throughout the United States and Canada for the past 20 years. The show continues to amaze audiences of all age groups, taking viewers from the band's breakout performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, through the psychedelic "Summer of Love" and the genre-shattering "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, and finally culminating in the band's final rooftop concert in 1969. To add to the authenticity, Beatlemania Again exclusively plays Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Epiphone, Fender, and Hofner guitars, along with Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig drums, and iconic Vox amplifiers.
It was one of the greatest moments in the history of show business. It was 1:20PM, on February 7th, 1964, when Pan Am Yankee Clipper Flight number 101 carrying four British musicians landed at New York's Idlewild Airport. Within 48 hours, the Beatles were performing on the Ed Sullivan Show capturing 73 million viewers.
Beatlemania Again relives the music, the magic, and the mania of The Beatles live on stage. The show chronologically traces The Beatles' career from their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, to their psychedelic era and the release of the mind blowing Sgt. Pepper album, to their last-ever live concert on the rooftop of Apple Records in 1969.
Beatlemania Again takes audiences on a musical journey back in time, featuring over 30 of The Beatles' greatest hits performed live on stage. In addition, the show features three amazing costume changes throughout the performance. To add to the authenticity, Beatlemania Again uses the same musical instruments that the Beatles used in the 1960s, such as Hofner bass guitars, Rickenbacker guitars, Gretsch guitars, Vox amplifiers and Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig drums. The show has excited audiences throughout the United States and Canada, and has shared the stage with highly talented artists such as B.J. Thomas, The Grass Roots, The Lovin' Spoonful, Chubby Checker, The Turtles, Max Weinberg and many more! Relive Beatlemania all over again with the nationally touring Beatles stage show Beatlemania Again at your next event.
ACT I: The Ed Sullivan Years
The Beatles left London's Heathrow Airport on February 7th, 1964, with an estimated 4,000 fans screaming and waving. They arrived at New York's JFK Airport, greeted by a similar crowd. Two days later, they appeared for the first time on the Ed Sullivan Show to a record 73 Million viewers in the USA. Experience the excitement as Beatlemania Again begins the recreation of The Beatles' phenomenon. The production captures the energy and excitement of The Beatles' live performances with the original sounds of the albums. Act I's authenticity is showcased by actual instruments and amplifiers used by The Beatles. The look is astonishing with the fine tailored black velvet suits.
ACT II: Sgt. Pepper
After tours in Japan and the Philippines, The Beatles shock the world with a new look and a new sound, and the course of modern pop music is changed forever. Beatlemania Again colorfully returns to the stage with Act II, "Sgt. Pepper". Beatlemania Again is suddenly psychedelic and "Flower Power" is busting out all over. The production wardrobe features vibrant Sgt. Pepper silk costumes, authentic makeup, and facial accessories.
ACT III: Abbey Road
The artistic versions of the four lads begin to change. Paul is writing more about family, John explores the introspective, experimental side, George develops an interest in Indian music, and Ringo delves into movies. Yet nothing could prevent their music and final recordings from entering into history. Their songs are the hippies' anthems. Performing hits from 1968 to 1970, Beatlemania Again brings to the stage the charisma and emotion that was hidden behind the walls of Apple and Abbey Road studios.
Beatlemania Again has performed at thousands of world class venues, including the following:
"If I closed my eyes, musically, I would not have known the difference between The Beatles and Beatlemania Again"
- Broadway World
"What a fantastic show! Hundreds of people dancing and singing all night. The atmosphere was electric. It truly was almost three hours of party time. I've had the honor to work with the Beatlemania performers for a very long time. From the "Broadway" shows to many others in the top arenas, casinos and theaters in the country, they NEVER let their production go below "top-shelf entertainment.” And what about all those children at the show who knew all the Beatles songs?! Thank you for making this a very special night!”
- Art Bonito, Camp Jefferson Amphitheatre
“Beatlemania Again rocks! Great show, guys."
- Andre Gardner, radio DJ at 102.9 WMGK Philadelphia
“You guys put on an amazing show."
- Steve Trevelise, radio personality
"Beatlemania Again was the star of the surprise party! I threw a surprise birthday party for my husband a few weeks ago and hired Beatlemania Again to play at the event. It was a huge success! I kept it a surprise so none of the guests knew they were coming. When the band came on stage in their costumes -- looking, acting, and sounding just like The Beatles-- the guests loved it and started dancing! I got so many compliments and some people told me it was the best birthday party they have ever been to. I spoke with Rich, a.k.a Ringo Starr. He was so nice and communicated with me very well. I really couldn't have been happier."
- Lizzy
