Broadway Licensing releases a new musical adaptation of the Netflix animated TV series Beat Bugs, which is inspired by and includes the music of the Beatles. The musical adaptation, Beat Bugs: Saving Strawberry Fields Forever, features an original script written by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti as well as new arrangements of one of the world's most celebrated music catalogs.

The show incorporates numerous songs from the iconic Lennon/McCartney catalog including "All You Need Is Love,""Come Together," "Across the Universe," "Yellow Submarine,""Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "In My Life," "Strawberry Fields Forever," and "Magical Mystery Tour."

"Creating a Beat Bugs musical using The Beatles' catalog is incredibly cool and tremendously exciting for our company," said Sean Cercone, President of Broadway Licensing. "It's heartwarming to watch this show with my kids and experience how these iconic songs can teach such important messages in a highly entertaining way."

David Abbinanti, Broadway Licensing's Vice President of Music & Creative, said: "The Beatles' message of love, peace, and friendship is universal and more important than ever." He added, "It will be a thrill to see families come together in a live theatrical setting and experience their music in a brand-new way."

A version of the show adapted for middle-school performers will be released in the fall and join Broadway Licensing's new Junior Varsity Collection, which includes The Best Christmas Pageant Ever JV, Emma: A Pop Musical JV, and Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical JV.
