RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles at Centrepointe Theatre

Following their phenomenal Broadway success - a limited 13-week engagement that led to a 10-month run - the internationally-acclaimed Beatles review, RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles, returns to Ottawa for a limited seven-show engagement at Centrepointe Theatre. In a show the Associated Press calls “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles,” RAIN boasts a repertoire of 31 Beatles favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as I Want To Hold Your Hand and Hard Day’s Night, to Yesterday and Hey Jude to classic hits including Revolution and Come Together. RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, the psychedelic late 60’s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience, including a fusion of historical footage, hilarious television commercials from the 1960’s, and live close-ups. For the band members, the music is first and foremost. For more than two decades, RAIN has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always remaining faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-for-note performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences. The show even includes some of the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves never performed live.
