LENNON: THROUGH A GLASS ONION Announces Veterans Day 'Give Peace a Chance' Initiative

Lennon: Through a Glass Onion, the American premiere theatrical event celebrating the genius, music and phenomenon of John Lennon, has announced a special "Give Peace A Chance" Initiative in celebration of Veterans Day. For the entire month of November, all veterans, reservists and active military can receive 1 free ticket to the show at the box office with valid military ID. Tickets will be available for that day's performance(s) when the box office opens at 1pm and all tickets are subject to availability.

Created and performed by renowned Australian actor/musician John R. Waters and esteemed singer/pianist Stewart D'Arrietta, Lennon: Through a Glass Onion is part concert, part biography and reveals the essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the most admired icons of the past century. The show features 31 songs including "Imagine," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Revolution," "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds," "All You Need is Love," "Come Together," "Help," "Working Class Hero," "Mother," "Jealous Guy," and more.

"Throughout his life, John Lennon stood for peace, love, and freedom," said John R. Waters. "Our veterans put their lives on the line for these very principles and we want to give back to them in any way we can. We hope our show can inspire and promote change."

In 1992, twelve years after Lennon's death, Waters and D'Arrietta first conceived and performed Lennon: Through a Glass Onion on a small stage at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney. The show was an instant success. In the years that followed, Waters and D'Arrietta toured the show and played sold out engagements at venues including The Sydney Opera House. The show performed a three-month engagement in London's West End.

Lennon: Through a Glass Onion plays at The Union Square Theater, (100 East 17th Street). Performances are Tuesday - Saturday at 8PM, Sunday at 7PM, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 3PM. In addition, there will be special holiday matinees on Wednesday, November 26th at 3pm and Friday, November 28th at 3pm. Visit www.LennonOnStage.com for additional information.
