West End extravaganza Let It Be has returned once again to London at the Garrick Theatre to delight audiences over the sping and summer months.

Let It Be is a show comprised entirely of songs from the vast musical back catalogue of The Beatles

To celebrate the relaunch, the West End cast of Let It Be performed a very special and intimate gig in a Beatles themed bedroom at the Waldorf Hilton - an iconic hotel in Central London.

Not only was I invited to the champagne and mini caked fuelled party, I was invited to interview the cast in the gigantic bed of the luxury suite - every Nanna's day dream!

I chatted with Paul Mannion who plays George Harrison, Ben Cullingworth who plays Ringo Starr, Ryan Coath who plays John Lennon and Peter John Jackson who plays Paul McCartney. We discussed all good things such as the guys' favourite Beatles track and album, their favourite on stage moments, how they feel playing the most famous boy band of all time and of course, who they think would make the perfect modern day member of the group. Check out the video to watch the full interview.

After our interview, the fab four serenaded me (and a few select others) in the lounge area of the suite whilst we supped yet more champagne (we must have been VERY good in a previous life!) The "Beatles" performed three live musical numbers from the show in an exclusive acoustic set. Good news is, I switched my camera on and you can enjoy them too! Watch the video to hear the awesome foursome sing "We Can Work It Out," "If I Fell" and "Here Comes The Sun" which all feature in Let It Be.

Let It Be features a whole load of other memorable tracks from the world's biggest band including "Come Together," "Hey Jude," "A Hard Day's Night," and "Yesterday." The show runs at the Garrick Theatre until 27th September 2015.
