Becoming the Beatles

Becoming the Beatles weaves together 20 songs from a live band, over 300 stunning projections and the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the biggest band of all time. Becoming the Beatles is definitely not a tribute act. It’s a show about four boys: one born during an air raid, one who had to reverse the strings on his guitar to make sense of it, one who stayed up late practicing with tears in his eyes and another who couldn’t read or write until he was eight. It’s also the story of a visionary young producer who was desperate to find his way out of the comedy division at Parlophone records. Hear how their story was affected by heartbreak, the classical greats, two world wars and by oppressed musicians in the Deep South and how that same band was turned down by 80% of the English recording market yet defied the odds to become the most successful musical group in history. Creator Haley Marie is a touring musician and holds a Master's of Music from Yale University. She is a three-time Carnegie Hall performer and music historian.
