Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles - 2010 - Broadway History , Info & More

As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Denver Post), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. From the early days of their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 through Sgt. Pepper and on to the Abbey Road years, RAIN performs it all. The multi-media concert recaptures the era through all phases of The Beatles astounding musical career including Shea Stadium, the psychedelic late 60s and the long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. A fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.



The acclaimed Beatles concert RAIN – A Tribute To The Beatles on Broadway at The Neil Simon Theatre moved to The Brooks Atkinson Theatre and began performances on February 8, 2011. RAIN had previously been extended twice, playing its final performance at The Neil Simon Theatre on Saturday, January 15, 2011.

STAGE TUBE: RAIN at Thanksgiving Day Parade!
by Leslie Fazin - November 29, 2010


The cast of RAIN performed a re-enactment of The Beatles' famous 1969 rooftop performance at the 84th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Click the video below to watch a video uploaded by a fan of the performance! RAIN is currently performing to packed houses at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52 Street now through January 9th. Together longer than The Beatles themselves, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that's as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics that The Beatles never got the chance to play live, this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!
