Cheap Trick's 'Sgt. Pepper Live' Benefits Nevada Public Radio, 8/18

Nevada Public Radio listeners and members have the rare chance to support public radio while celebrating The Beatles legendary music with "Sgt. Pepper Live" featuring Cheap Trick at Paris Las Vegas on August 18.

A Bill Edwards Presents Inc. production, "Sgt. Pepper Live" featuring Cheap Trick is a dazzling musical experience and live interpretation of one of the most beloved rock albums in history, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - which was never performed in its entirety by The Beatles themselves due to the complex studio technology required. In this production, "Sgt. Pepper Live" allows Cheap Trick to incorporate their brand of power pop into the classic songs while paying tribute to music legends in an unforgettable orchestration of captivating light and sound. Throughout the performance, Cheap Trick will also be performing many of its most covered songs such as "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender" and "The Flame."

A limited number of tickets for the August 18 performances at 8 p.m. will benefit and must be purchased through Nevada Public Radio.
