Born as a West End production to celebrate the legendary band’s 50th anniversary, Let It Be uses state-of-the-art projection technology and 3D sound to put audiences at the heart of The Beatles’ meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the heights of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces with live performances of songs including “ Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You” and “Drive My Car,” “Yesterday,” “Hey Jude,” “Come Together” and, of course, “Let It Be.”
What Is the Story of Let It Be?
Let It Be invites audience members along for the ride as the Beatles transform from local Liverpool musicians to international superstars. From their early concerts in the Cavern Club to the recording of their final studio album, Let It Be traces the evolution of the band with the help of animated projections, costume changes and video clips that evoke the culture of the ‘60s. The new tribute show is a multimedia extravaganza that’s the next best thing to seeing the Fab Four in person.
"The performers are convincingly transformed into the Beatles’ various incarnations, from their original mop top, dark-suited look to the wildly costumed Sgt. Pepper era to the casual hipness of the later years."

"Visually invoking Lennon, Reuven Gershon performs with appropriate cool, while John Brosnan is nicely intense as lead guitarist George Harrison. Enacting still-living Beatles, James Fox incorporates eye-rolling, winking mannerisms and soaring vocals reminiscent of the young McCartney, while drummer Luke Roberts has a head-bopping good time as Ringo Starr."

"The word 'celebration' in the subtitle [in 'Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of the Beatles'] is well chosen, and the performers are outstanding, as nostalgia substitutes and as musicians in their own right."
