NEW YORK, June 8 (UPI) -- "Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles on
Broadway" is to play a limited 11-week engagement this fall at New
York's Neil Simon Theatre, the show's producers said.
Previews are to begin Oct. 19, with the official opening scheduled
for Oct. 26. The engagement is to run through Jan. 2, 2011.
"'Rain' performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live
onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The
Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an
audience," producers said in a press release Tuesday. "From the early
days of their appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in 1964 through
'Sgt. Pepper' and on to the Abbey Road years, 'Rain' performs it all."
The news release said the show also covers Beatles music from the
Shea Stadium concert, "the psychedelic late 1960s and The Beatles'
long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days."
