Tim Piper presents Just Imagine: The John Lennon Experience at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre January 11, 2020.

Just Imagine is an extraordinary rock 'n' roll celebration of the life and music of John Lennon starring look-and-sing-alike artist Tim Piper. Just Imagine intertwines John Lennon's songs with the stories behind them to create a unique and electrifying multimedia concert experience.

"Just Imagine tells Lennon's story in what I hope is an accurate and compelling way," says Piper. "If you were there, it's a trip back in time. If you weren't, it's a musical history lesson."

Tim Piper distinguishing himself as the pre-eminent John Lennon with roles in the CBS production "The Linda McCartney Story," E! Channel's production of the "John Lennon Story," "Beatle Wives," and as the singing voice of John Lennon for the NBC TV Movie of the Week, "In His Life - The John Lennon Story."

The LA Weekly wrote, "GO! The fun of seeing and hearing Tim Piper's great John Lennon impersonation in an intimate setting with an outstanding band, under Greg Piper's musical direction, is just undeniable." Agreed the Los Angeles Times, "CRITIC'S CHOICE... Nothing matches 'Strawberry Fields Forever' live, dense and ecstatic, raining down around your ears." KABC Radio enthused, "Tim Piper IS John Lennon," and KLOS 95.5's Chris Carter raved that "[Just Imagine is] "Breakfast with the Beatles approved... if you like John Lennon, you will love this show."
