Beatlemania is back in full force as the The Fab Fourever bring their tribute to the still influential `60s pop music icons to the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., Sunday, April 24, 7:30 p.m.
Whether you're somebody who remembers the excitement of live shows in Britain, original Ed Sullivan appearances and scratchy 45 rpm singles, or have discovered the music latterly through CDs and, now, iTunes, the skilled performers of The Fab Fourever offer a convincing time-trip back to the the 1962 to 1970 era.
Presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment, it's an authentically-costumed and period instrument-equipped show that follows the evolution of the Beatles from cheeky mop-topped stardom, through psychedelia and diverse musical influences up to the increasingly sophisticated 鈥� but also increasingly fragmented 鈥� group of Abbey Road and Let It Be.
Kevin Davey personifies the attitude and musicianship of John Lennon; Jody Tennant has the vocal range to recapture Paul McCartney's appeal; Jean Luc voice, guitar and quietly playful demeanour evokes George Harrison, and Paul Kaszonyi is as much fun to watch as to hear as Ringo Starr.
Tickets are $37.50 plus service charges from 604-536-7535 or www.whiterockplayers.ca
