RAIN: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES Plays State Theatre This Weekend

Direct from their phenomenally successful Broadway engagement, the internationally acclaimed Beatles concert, Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles, returns to Minneapolis by popular demand. This phenomenal Beatles experience will perform three shows only at Hennepin Theatre Trust's State Theatre at 8 p.m. tonight, April 11; and 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2014. Rain's updated state of the art, multi-media experience features new songs for the 2013-14 tour. Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 6. To purchase and for more information visit www.HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 1.800.982.2787.

Described as "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!" (Associated Press), Rain performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. In addition to redesigned sets that include new LED lighting, high-definition screens and multi-media content, new songs have been added with the launch of the 2013-14 tour. Together longer than The Beatles, Rain has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that is as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics ("I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Hard Day's Night," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Let It Be," "Come Together," "Hey Jude" and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!

Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles is set for three shows: 8 p.m. on Friday, April 11; and 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at Hennepin Theatre Trust's State Theatre (805 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis 55403). Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, 2013 and range from $43.50 to $68.50 depending on performance time and seating preference. All prices include applicable facility fees.
