Let it Be

Relive 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 early tracks including Twist and Shout, She Loves You and Drive My Car, as well as global mega-hits Yesterday, Hey Jude, Come Together and, of course, Let It Be. Travel back to the magical sixties when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!


The critical consensus

It is entertaining and fun but paper thin and really does not do the Beatles justice. I'd see the Bootleg Beatles instead.

**(*)(*)(*)Ruth Lovett, WhatsOnStage, 04/03/2014

This production shrewdly ploughs through the hits in more or less chronological order, with slick, well-produced, but flimsy window dressing around the band’s familiar rise to fame.

***(*)(*)Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 03/05/2014

This is a sheer joy from start to finish and leaves not only the people in the cheap sheets clapping but everyone.

Lauren Humphreys, The Public Reviews, 01/05/2014

The air at a Beatles ‘gig’ may be thick with the smell of chocolate these days rather than grass, but this perfunctory jaunt into the long and winding road needs more interesting detours.

***(*)(*)Lorna Irvine, The List, 22/05/2014

While this production will not satisfy those looking to hear more about the band, get an insight into the Beatles’ complex relationships or indeed the friction that caused their break-up, it is a largely satisfying, hugely entertaining celebration of some of their greatest artistic achievements.

***(*)(*)Susan Lowes, All Edinburgh Theatre, 03/06/2014

All in all, this is a celebration of the Beatles and a fitting tribute.
