RAIN - A Tribute To The Beatles Comes to Chicago March 2009

The award-winning Beatles concert, RAIN - A Tribute To The Beatles, makes its Chicago debut at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University (50 E. Congress Pkwy.) for a limited engagement March 3 - 8, 2009. Individual tickets for RAIN will go on sale to the public Friday, December 19, 2008 at 10 a.m. and are only available through the Broadway In Chicago Ticket Line at (312) 902-1400 and online at www.BroadwayInChicago.com.

In a show the Denver Post calls "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles," 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 covers the Fab Four 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...a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.

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.
