LENNON: THROUGH A GLASS ONION to End Run at Union Square Theater Next Month

Lennon: Through a Glass Onion, the internationally acclaimed theatrical event celebrating the genius, music and phenomenon of John Lennon will end its engagement at The Union Square Theater (100 East 17th Street) on January 11th. Created and performed by renowned Australian actor/musician John R. Waters and esteemed singer/pianist Stewart D'Arrietta, Lennon: Through a Glass Onion will have played 12 previews and 102 performances at the time of closing.

Part concert and part biography, Lennon: Through a Glass Onion reveals the essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the most admired icons of the past century with a story and 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.

A national tour is planned to commence in the fall of 2015.

"It has been truly wonderful to bring Lennon: Through a Glass Onion to New York for its American premiere" said producer Harley Medcalf. "We have been overwhelmed by the love we have felt from our audiences and look forward to bringing our show around the country and the world."

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.
