The Fab Four hit Broadway tonight with Let It Be, a spectacular concert experience at Broadway's St. James Theatre, with an official opening night set for Wednesday, July 24th. The show will play a strictly limited engagement through Sunday, December 29th.

Direct from London's West End, where it continues its celebrated open-ended run, Let It Be features songs from The Beatles' greatest hits. Born as a West End production to celebrate the legendary band's 50th anniversary, Let It Be uses projections and surround sound to put audiences at the heart of The Beatles' meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool's Cavern Club, through the heights of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces with live performances of songs including "Twist and Shout," "She Loves You," "Drive My Car," "Yesterday," "Hey Jude," "Come Together" and, of course, "Let It Be."

The Broadway cast of Let It Be features Graham Alexander, John Brosnan, Ryan Coath, James Fox, Reuven Gershon, Chris McBurney andLuke Roberts, with Ryan Alex Farmery, John Korba and Daniel A. Weiss.

LET IT BE on Broadway features musical supervision and direction by John Maher, set design by Tim McQuillen-Wright, US lighting design by Jason Lyons, sound design by Gareth Owen, video design by Duncan McLean, original video designs by Darren McCaulley and Mathieu St. Arnaud, costume supervision by Jack Galloway, production and creative direction by Scott Christensen, and technical supervision by Arthur Siccardi and Pat Sullivan.

At each performance of Let It Be, $30 general admission balcony tickets will be available for purchase. These general admission tickets can be purchased in person at the St. James Theatre box office as well as online at LetItBroadway.com or by calling (212) 239-6200.

LET IT BE kicked off in the fall of 2012 at London's Prince of Wales Theatre, where it recouped its initial investment after just 18 weeks. The show has since moved to The Savoy Theatre, where it continues an open-ended run.

LET IT BE is produced for Broadway by Annerin Productions, Yasuhiro Kawana, BB Promotion, Rubin Fogel and Jujamcyn Theaters.
