Aficionados of The Beatles who enjoyed Let It Be The Musical when it toured the country will be delighted to learn that Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles is returning this year to the UK theatres with a brand new second half of the popular show – giving audiences a rare glimpse of how the famous band may have continued as a four-piece. The show comes to Edinburgh in October.

The new musical will see The Beatles reunite for one night only, with the new section of the show set a decade after the group went their separate ways in 1970.

A cast of talented musicians will take to stages across the country as the Fab Four.

The cast are revealed as Michael Gagliano who will play John Lennon; Emanuele Angeletti as Paul McCartney; John Brosnan as George Harrison; and Ben Cullingworth as Ringo Starr. The band will be joined on stage throughout the tour by musical director Michael Bramwell on keyboards.

Producer Jeff Parry comments: “I grew up listening to The Beatles, they sparked a passion for music which, for me personally, has gone on to become so much more – a career, and a way of life. Their talent, hunger, and incredible ambition inspired me to follow my dreams too. The Beatles were so much more than a group. And it’s unbelievable to think that Let It Be was released 48 years ago, it still sounds as current as it did back in 1970.

“Our strong cast of Michael, Emanuele, John and Ben, along with musical director Michael are going to give audiences a show they have never experienced before – The Beatles’ concert that never was. Developing the show with the new Part II has been a complete labour of love and I am so excited to now introduce this brand-new element to UK fans.”

Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles comes to the Edinburgh Playhouse from Monday 8 October to Saturday 13 October 2018. Tickets here.
