DIRECT FROM BROADWAY!  RAIN RETURNS!

RAIN, the internationally-acclaimed Beatles concert, returns by popular demand! As "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!" (Associated Press), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture, and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that's as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (I Want To Hold Your Hand, Hard Day's Night, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be, Come Together, Hey Jude, and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!   www.raintribute.com
