More than just a Beatles tribute concert, In My Life
gives the audience a chance to “be there” at pivotal moments in the
extraordinary career of the Beatles: Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, The Ed Sullivan Show,
Shea Stadium, Abbey Road Studios and the final live performance on the
rooftop of their Apple Corp offices. With manager Brian Epstein serving
as narrator, In My Life allows the audience to get a glimpse inside the world of the Beatles from their
point of view, as well as hear some of the greatest songs ever written.
Historical settings such as the Cavern Club are established on stage
with videos and images which play behind the actors and musicians on a a
video screen.
Four
Beatles tribute musicians and actors were cast to portray the Fab Four
in the musical. With their tight harmonies, flawless renditions,
custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and
precise attention to detail, they recreate the magic of the Beatles,
including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities and familiar onstage
banter. In My Life takes the audience back to February 1964 when America watched the Beatles for the first time on The Ed Sullivan Show,
playing “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” Progressing through their various
musical stages, the audience re-experiences the psychedelic era of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the creation of the haunting “Blackbird” and the raucous rock and roll of “Revolution.”
"There have been so many different Beatle band concert shows over the years, but in “In My Life,” we get a chance to see the Beatles, up close and personal, and hopefully gain a deeper insight into who they really were," said Tom Maher, one of the show's producers.
The
four musician/actors cast to play John, Paul, George and Ringo were
selected from 220 Beatle tribute musicians, most of whom showed up for
auditions in costume and in character. The band features Chris Paul
Overall ("Paul"), Gregory Wilmot ("John"), Jesse Wilder ("George") and
Axel Clarke ("Ringo"). Brian Epstein is played by Edan Freiberger.
The band is managed by Maher, who was part of the management team for such world class acts Guns N' Roses, Slash, Blind Melon, Zakk Wylde, Danzig, Leon Russell, John Jorgenson and My Little Funhouse. Maher is still currently in management for Motorhead, Anthrax, Sepultara, Zebrahead, My Vitriol, as well as up and comers Orange, the UK's Obsessive Compulsive, and Finland's Icon Cras
