Audiences 'Come Together' When RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles Arrives In Denver 9/22

The award-winning Beatles concert RAIN - A Tribute To The Beatles comes to Denver's Buell Theatre September 22-27. In a show the Fort Worth Star-Telegram calls "Boomer Heaven," RAIN boasts a repertoire of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" to classic hits including "Revolution" and "Come Together." RAIN is sponsored in Denver by Comcast. Single tickets go on sale Sunday, August 9 at www.denvercenter.org or by phone and walk-up Monday, August 10 at 10am.

RAIN covers The Beatles from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience which includes a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s.

For the four longtime band members - Joey Curatolo (Paul McCartney), Joe Bithorn (George Harrison), Ralph Castelli (Ringo Starr) and Steve Landes (John Lennon), with a little help from their friend Mark Lewis (keyboards, percussion) - the music is first and foremost. For more than two decades, RAIN has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always being faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-for-note performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.

Single tickets for RAIN start at just $22, and go on sale Sunday, August 9 at www.denvercenter.org and Monday, August 10 at 10am for phone and walk-up sales.
