It was fifty years ago since The Beatles released their debut album “Please Please Me” and then went on to dominate the charts throughout the world and become the greatest, most successful act in the history of popular music. Later the same year the “fab four” released their second album “With The Beatles”, which instantly replaced “Please Please Me” at top of the charts. It was the first ever U.K. album to sell 1,000,000 copies and remained at No.1 for 21 weeks, giving the band a continuous run of 51 weeks at the summit! This, along with four u.k. number one singles and three chart topping E.P.s, made 1963, without doubt, the year that launched The Beatles to the world, and that was just the beginning...

The BEATLEMANIA show superbly recreates the legendary live performances of The Beatles from their 'moptop' roots, through the psychedelia of Sgt. Pepper then on to the final years of Abbey Road and Let It Be. However, with this being the golden anniversary year, the first part of the show will feature songs ALL from 1963

MASS APPEAL

2013-05-25T18:00:07+00:00

Father Tim Farley is highly popular with his parishioners due to his charm, wit, easy-going manner, and entertaining (but unchallenging) sermons. One Sunday, seminarian Mark Dolson interrupts Farley's sermon to challenge his stance on the ordination of women. The pastor is outraged and intrigued by the young man, and asks to have him assigned to work with him.

Dolson is a firebrand eager to change the Church and feels it's his job to shake parishioners out of their complacency. Farley likes Dolson, but sees that he'll never succeed as a priest if all he does is irritate people and make enemies. Each man has something to teach the other about how to perform his priestly duties.

Previous productions have won both Tony Awards and Theatre World Awards.
