About Yesterday and Today: the Interactive Beatles Experience: Stars of Yesterday and Today, Billy, Ryan and Matthew McGuigan, originally from Largo, FL, were just 21, 18, and 15 years old in 1996 when their father, William "Bill" McGuigan, passed away, after a difficult, but courageous battle with leukemia. Bill owned every Beatles album there was...even the obscure ones. However, as a family, the McGuigans were quite poor. So, rather than going out to entertain the young ones, Bill stayed home with them and shared his love of the Beatles catalogue with his boys. Little did any of them know, it would turn out to be one of the greatest gifts a father could pass on to his children.

Now, almost fifteen years after the passing of their father, Billy, Ryan, and Matthew, have united their musical talents, charms and passion for performing to create the ultimate living tribute to the greatest man they've ever known. They now tour the country with the show, Yesterday & Today, which is a unique audience interactive concert experience, born out of the idea that everyone, like themselves, has a story or particular memory attached to the legendary music of The Beatles.

What the McGuigan boys have overwhelmingly found, since debuting the show in 2007, is that not only do people have a story to tell, but they are absolutely ready and willing to tell that story when given the opportunity to tie it to their favorite Beatles song. It goes beyond sheer entertainment, and perhaps becomes a hint of music therapy.

Every night the songs change, the faces change, and the stories change. But one element always remains the same between the McGuigans and their fans: a mutual respect for why they are there. Whether it's for the sheer love of the music, or to have a personal connection with it, either way, the McGuigan boys get to do what they love most - honoring the memory of their greatest hero, and the priceless gift he gave them so many years ago.

The regular run of the show Yesterday and Today, The Interactive Beatles Experience is April 7 through April 24, 2016. Ticket prices start at $30 for Wednesdays, Thursdays and matinees; Friday nights start at $37, and Saturday nights start at $40. Book early for best prices.
