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.

"Rather than impersonate, I want to evoke Lennon's honesty, bitter-sweet humor, self criticism and disdain for pomposity," says Waters. "Having performed this piece in cities around the world for the last two decades, I am thrilled to make my New York debut with this show."

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.
