The acclaimed theatrical
concert, which features an all-new Let
It Be Part II reunion concert, proved such a hit with audiences and critics
alike when it was premiered last year and a sell out European Tour, that it is
now returning for a new UK Tour through Spring 2019.
After opening in Portsmouth on 22 April, Let It Be will then visit Inverness, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Blackpool,
Bath, Bradford and Norwich.
Let It Be is a celebration of the iconic music of The Beatles and has already been seen by more than two million
people worldwide, including a run in the West End and
two UK tours.
Beatles fans are
invited to join John, Paul, George and
Ringo for an unforgettable night of live music. The cast will be announced
shortly.
Act One takes audiences
through the early days of the band as they embarked on their musical journey and onwards to the
heights of global Beatlemania. The
historic Royal Variety Performance, Shea
Stadium and those iconic Sergeant
Pepper costumes all feature. The first half of the evening features many of
their most famous songs including I Want
to Hold Your Hand, Day Tripper, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band, Penny Lane, A Day In The Life, Come Together, Get Back, and The End.

In a twist from the
original Let It Be show, Act Two is
set a decade after The Beatles went
their separate ways. It gives fans a rare glimpse of how the Fab Four could have Come Together once
again to perform – and is not to be missed.
Audiences are taken on a
memorable and unique step back in time to the reunion concert taking place on 9 October 1980 – it’s John Lennon’s 40th
Birthday. This is the ultimate concert that never was. The band reunite for one
night only, just Imagine.

The band’s
solo material featured includes Starting Over, Band On The Run, Black Bird, Got
My Mind Set On You, My Sweet Lord, Live and Let Die, and Imagine.
The new tour coincides with a number
of iconic anniversaries in the
history of the most successful band of
all time, The Beatles – who started out as just four young lads from
Liverpool.
This
year marks 50 years since The Beatles took those infamous steps across the
pedestrian crossing outside EMI’s Abbey Road Studios in London, which went on
to become one of the most famous album covers of all time.
Sadly,
it also marks the 50th anniversaries of the group playing together
for the final time with a rooftop performance on top of the Apple Corps
building in London’s Savile Row. They also finished recording Abbey
Road – and this year also marks half a century since the album was released.

Let
It Be producer Jeff Parry said:
“The original Let It Be was a hit with Beatles fans all over the world, but UK
audiences’ reaction to the new show and the new Act Two reunion concert that
never was, has been nothing short of phenomenal.
“It
may be almost half a century since The Beatles split, but their popularity and
their influence just seems to keep growing, with their incredible and creative
catalogue of music attracting a whole new generation of fans. And with so many
important anniversaries during 2019, we’re delighted to take this special show to
thousands more Beatles fans here in the UK.”
