BWW Reviews: 'RAIN' Pours Beatle-Mania onto Orange County, CA (ends 3/28)
by Michael L. Quintos - Mar 25, 2010
Arguably one of the most popularly-beloved pop acts of the 20th century, the Beatles -- that engaging Liverpool, UK foursome comprised of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- have not only left an indelible mark in music history, but have also carved themselves a place in pop culture that still resonates today. It's no surprise, then, that when RAIN®: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES took the stage of the Orange County Performing Arts Center (performances continue through March 28), there were plenty of screams, lots of heads bopping (to the beat of the music), and ample breakouts of infectious sing-alongs. Steeped in affectionate nostalgia, the theatrically-leaning concert production is an enjoyable multi-media presentation that is huge in both sound and visuals.
