TWIST & SHOUT: The Ultimate Beatles Revue
Biography In Concert
The Beatles will never perform together again for obvious reasons. But, all is not lost, as "Twist & Shout", who have been described as "the best of the Beatles re-creations", is here to fill the void. Twist & Shout features a sensational look-alike, sound-alike cast of former members from the Broadway sensation “Beatlemania” and the “Classical Mystery Tour” concerts performed with symphony musicians. Twist & Shout very authentically recreates the excitement and showmanship of the original Beatles concerts plus some of their individual musical highlights as well.
The show features more than thirty Beatles songs, and every stage of their career is included. It begins with a recreation of their 1964 debut on the "Ed Sullivan Show", in matching black Edwardian suits and boots, performing early hits like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You". Changing into the proper multicolored satin uniforms, the band then performs songs from the "Sergeant Pepper" era such as "A Day In The Life" and "Penny Lane". Finally, they cover the hippie days of "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be". All the vocals are performed live, and each performer plays his proper instrument (well). The instruments, like the costumes, are authentic Beatle originals.
The "Twist and Shout" show is headlined by Tony Kishman as Paul, Tom Teeley as George, Chris Camilleri as Ringo, and Jim Owen as John Lennon. In addition, the show includes multimedia clips that recall the events of the turbulent '60's and highlight America's first experience of the "Fab Four", and the hysteria that became "Beatlemania".
