The Beatles tribute Rain - The Beatles Experience will make its New York debut at Town Hall (123 West 43 Street) on Thursday, June 15 and Friday, June 16 at 8:00 PM for two shows only.

"The Beatles Experience covers the Fab Four from Ed Sullivan through Abbey Road. Rain is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience and thanks to technological advances, Rain can play onstage what The Beatles never could. A fusion of historical footage and television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens….live cameras zoom in for close-ups," according to production notes. "Rain's repertoire includes a song list of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved ballads as 'Let It Be' and 'Hey Jude' to classic hits including 'Revolution,' 'Come Together' and 'Can't Buy Me Love.'"

All four cast members/musicians are veterans of the Broadway production of Beatlemania. Paul McCartney is played by Joey Curatolo, George Harrison is played by Joe Bithorn, Ringo Starr is played by Ralph Castelli and John Lennon is played by Steve Landes. Mark Lewis handles keyboard and percussion. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.

Tickets go on sale Friday, April 21. Ticket prices are $58 and $45. To order tickets call Ticketmaster 212-307-4100, the Town Hall Box Office 212-840-2824 or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Visit www.annerin.com/rain for more information.
