Once upon a time the Fab Four were the not quite so fab five, a band that was struggling along and performing rock'n'roll covers in seedy clubs.
This new show, making its West End premiere after a run at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow, charts the progress of The Beatles from their earliest days to the moment they broke through, focusing on the relationship between original bassist Stuart Sutcliffe, John Lennon and German photographer Astrid Kirchherr.
Adapted from the 1994 film by Iain Softley, this production invites you to twist and shout your way down to the Duke of York's Theatre to witness the birth of one of the greatest bands in history.
