As a tribute to the Fab Four--from the legendary Ed Sullivan performance to recordings at Abbey Road-- LET IT BE is at the top of the list. The New York Times "can happily report thatLET IT BE is by far the best of the bunch...the performers are outstanding." This fully-staged recreation of the band not only features highlights of their career, but also imagines the celebration of John Lennon's 40th birthday-the reunion that wasn't to be-performing hits like "Live and Let Die," "My Sweet Lord," "Hey Jude," and other songs never performed live onstage. LET IT BE "stands on its own as a lively, multimedia concert and a rocking good time" (Associated Press).

By popular demand, a fifth performance has been added for LET IT BE's run at the Harris Center .

No one could have imagined that the end of The Beatles era was in sight when The Beatles played their last show on the roof of Apple Offices in 1969. LET IT BE takes the audience back to what would have been John Lennon's 40th Birthday - October 9, 1980. For one night, the fab four come together again on stage after a decade apart performing hits like Back in the USSR, Live and Let Die, Got To Get You Into My Life, My Sweet Lord, Hey Jude, and many more hits that were never performed live (the Beatles stopped touring in 1966), as well a many other classics songs from their beloved repertoire.

Leave it to the English press to clap the loudest: "Winning over an Empire full of Liverpudlians (including, last night, John Lennon's sister Julia) is no mean feat. But one that LET IT BE happily achieves" (Liverpool Echo); "Fab for all the family" (The Times of London); "Pure Beatles magic back on stage" (The Public Reviews, Liverpool).

The original production of LET IT BE established itself as one of the West End's most popular shows when it opened in 2012, also recently celebrated having performed over 1000 shows. LET IT BE is produced by Annerin Productions, a division of the Canadian based company Jeff Parry Promotions which has been a North American promotion company for over 30 years. (They produced the Pink Floyd Experience, which has performed previously at Harris Center.)
