BECOMING THE BEATLES

MARCH 1 12:30 PM

A live musical documentary like no other, BECOMING THE BEATLES weaves together 300 projections and 20 live songs to tell the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of 4 individual journeys to become one band. Fleshing out the context of one of history’s most iconic bands through through stories, live music, and images of a world devastated by war, the genius of oppressed musicians in the Deep South, unexpected inspiration from the classical greats, and the heartbreak from the death of the band’s biggest idol, BECOMING THE BEATLES is a history lesson that can only live outside a textbook.
