If you've had "A Hard Day's Night," and "All You Need Is Love," then give a "Shout" because "Help!" is on the way.
On Saturday, Nov. 24, Beatles Express, a professional tribute band, will make you want to "Twist and Shout" as they re-create the look, style and sound of the most famous rock and roll band in the world: The Beatles.
These four talented musicians create a totally self-contained theatrical experience that takes you on a musical and visual trip back to the '60s with three costume changes highlighting each era from early mop-top, to middle Sgt. Peppers', and finally to psychedelic and the final years. Each classic hit song is performed with vintage instruments that authentically capture the sound that changed popular music forever.
Beatles Express is comprised of world-class musicians who are veterans of the cast of Beatlemania, Legends in Concert and Disney's "British Invasion Band" at EPCOT. They have performed for crowds of thousands all over the world. You won't be able to stop yourself from singing and dancing along as they perform all of your favorite Beatles songs.
Admission for the performance is $25 for preferred seating (row A-E), $20 adult general admission.
