Beatlemania isn't over. The British rock foursome spans generations of fans. Those who were too young to see them together in their prime can catch the remake with "RAIN -- The Beatles Experience" today through Sunday at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis.
The four band members -- Joey Curatolo (Paul McCartney), Joe Bithorn (George Harrison), Ralph Castelli (Ringo Starr) and Steve Landes (John Lennon), and some keyboard and percussion by Mark Lewis -- play all the Beatles music note for note. RAIN uses no prerecorded music and has a playlist with more than 200 songs including such hits as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude." They also perform the classics like "Revolution" and "Come Together."
RAIN uses different technologies to provide a multimedia, multidimensional experience that uses historical footage and television commercials from the 1960s on video screens and live cameras that zoom in for close-ups on the band. The concert will now have surround sound giving audiences the ultimate Beatles sound experience.
Performance times are 8 p.m. today through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Ticket prices are $45, $40 and $30 and are on sale now at the Fox Theatre box office and all MetroTix locations. Charge by phone (314-534-1111) or online at www.MetroTix.com.
