Title: Beatlemania Post by: CWazyTom on May 01, 2018, 12:43AM Alex was involved in a production called Beatlemania a while back.
Beatlemania was played at the Göteborg Opera Main Stage from 31 May - 11 June 2005. While with the Scandinavian/Scotland tour with this production, Alex performed in Iceland, Glasgow, Norway, Sweden (2005-2006). The Show http://westendinternational.com/concerts/beatlemania The Beatles were without doubt the most innovative pop group ever. Re-live, re-visit or simply discover the great songs of the ‘fab four’ through this glorious celebration of their music. Join Eleanor Rigby, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Sgt. Pepper and the Fool on the Hill as they buy a Ticket to Ride in the Yellow Submarine on its Magical Mystery Tour along the Long and Winding Road from Penny Lane to Strawberry Fields in search of the Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da. Help! They must get back and see Her Majesty Michelle, the Paperback Writer, before they can say Here Comes the Sun and When I’m Sixty Four! BEATLEMANIA! premiered with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in March 2004 to tremendous critical acclaim. It has new and exciting orchestrations by Martin Yates and is scored for four soloists, three backing singers, full symphony orchestra and pop group.

Does anyone know where / if I can still get either of these or where I can at least listen to the tracks? Title: Re: Beatlemania Post by: CWazyTom on June 04, 2018, 07:53PM It's a bit of a long shot, but I contacted West End International to see if there's any chance of getting another sales run of the CD and/or DVD (or a release on a digital platform, perhaps).
If anyone else didn't get it earlier and is interested, I suppose the more people we have asking, the better our chances ;) http://www.westendinternational.com/contact |
