After making a splash in London's West End and on Broadway in New York City, the international hit "Let It Be, A Celebration of the Music of the Beatles" made it to Sudbury on Monday night.
The Oct. 30 stop was part of an eight-week North American tour of the musical, which has been seen by more than two million people.
The audience relived the past from Ed Sullivan to Abbey Road, with favourite hits including Hard Day's Night, Day Tripper, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Twist and Shout, Get Back, I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Strawberry Fields, but it also imagines The Beatles reunion that never was.
The show invites the audience to enter a time capsule and go back in time to what would have been John Lennon’s 40th birthday, Oct. 9, 1980.
For one night, the fab four come together again on stage after a decade apart. The original production became one of the West End’s most popular shows when it opened in 2012, so successful it recently celebrated more than 1,000 performances.
