The popular touring production's extended 12-week Broadway engagement began Oct. 19 and will run through Jan. 9, 2011.
The tribute show features Curatolo, Bithorn, Castelli, Landes and Beyer, who not only don a series of signature Beatles looks, but play the iconic British rock band's songs live, note-for-note. Audiences are treated to a series of Beatles costumes, replete with bell bottoms, mop tops and Nehru jackets.
Certain performances of Rain will also feature Graham Alexander, Joe Bologna, Doug Cox, Jim Irizarry, David Leon, Jimmy Pou, Mac Ruffing and Tom Teeley.
Here is a look at the opening night:
According to producers, "From the early days of their appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in 1964 through Sgt. Pepper and on to the Abbey Road years, Rain performs it all. The multi-media concert recaptures the era through all phases of The Beatles astounding musical career including Shea Stadium, the psychedelic late 60s and The Beatles long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. A fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups."
