Kicking off the season this July is Backbeat, which follows a few talented Liverpudlians trying to make it big in the music industry. Yes, those Liverpudlians. John, Paul, George, Ringo—plus original bassist Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best—are depicted during The Beatles’ formative Hamburg years in this musical, direct from London’s West End and inspired by the 1994 film of the same name. With early rock ‘n’ roll classics like Love Me Do, Twist and Shout, and Please Mr. Postman on the program, this production is primed to have audiences singing along and dancing in their seats.
