Show brings back the sweet sounds of the Beatles

Let It Be, an international touring show that celebrates the music of the Beatles, is very much an occasion of nostalgia for the Swinging Sixties.

But don’t expect a musical on the story of the Liverpudlian band and its meteoric rise to global domination. Company manager of the show, Neil White, makes a virtue of the fact that the show is a gig rather than a musical drama.

“It’s great that it hasn’t got a big storyline behind it,” says White. “It’s purely a theatrical celebration of the music which is really refreshing. You get a lot of shows, such as the story of the Spice Girls. But at the end of the day, what do people go to these shows for? They want the music.”
