With 20 live songs, over 300 projected images and one unforgettable story, Haley Marie and band brings to the stage “…AN AMAZING INSIGHT INTO ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. I WAS BLOWN AWAY…” RONNIE BROWN, OAKVILLE CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
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. Haley Marie is a touring musician, producer and holds a Masters in music from Yale University, she is a three time Carnegie Hall performer and a music historian.
Hear first-hand how their story was affected by heartbreak, the classical greats, two world wars and by oppressed musicians in the Deep South. 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.
Directed by Mary-Lu Zahalan, the world’s first graduate in the Beatles Master’s Program (Liverpool)
