CLASSICAL MYSTERY TOUR

Beatles fans!! (Like who under the age of nine isn't, but we're being polite.) Tickets for The Classical Mystery Tour are coming your way. This is your chance, your day, your time to play. Don't miss out! It's like The Beatles themselves are born again. The Classical Mystery tour is an authentic, down-to-the-note performance of some 30 Beatles' songs, as they were originally written, by four talented and Beatles'-loving musicians in tandem with a full symphony orchestra. (Think closing crescendo of "A Day in the Life." Think "Penny Lane" with live trumpets.) The concert is indeed a magical mystery tour of classic Beatles' beginning with the love songs of the early years then heading down a long and winding road through Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be, even beyond to Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison's solo years, you won't regret getting your tickets for this tour. You'll feel like John (Jim Owen), Paul (Tony Kishman), George (Tom Teeley), and Ringo (Chris Camilleri) themselves are up on stage, belting out classics like "When I'm Sixty-Four" or "You Never Give Me Your Money" or "I Want To Hold Your Hand." They even look like the original Fab Four, with their mop-top hair and boyish grins and their Carnoustie suits with white shirts and narrow ties. "We really make an effort to sound like the originals," explains Owen. "The orchestra score is exact, right down to every note and instrument that was on the original recording. On 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' we have two tenor saxes and three trumpets. That's what it was written for, and that's what we use. And on 'A Day in the Life," can you imagine that big orchestra crescendo happening live?" For those too young to remember the Beatles' first legendary appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, or the screaming girls, the Shea Stadium concert, the Maharishi Yogi, and that haunting landmark cover of Sergeant Pepper-and for those who do-this will be a treat to remember for the rest of your lives. The Beatles-there was nothing like them before and nothing like them ever since. With stops thus far in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Salt Lake City, the tour has been a wonderful, incredible, fabulous rush of pure British Invasion joy and exhilaration. The Los Angeles Times proclaimed the performance at the Orange County Performing Arts Center "more than just an incredible simulation . . . the swelling strings and soaring French horns gave Saturday's live performance a high goose-bump quotient . . .the crowd stood and bellowed for more." Don't miss out! Buy your tickets today! Or else you'll be feeling so . . . "Yesterday."
