MYSTERY TOUR

Can you imagine what it would have sounded like hearing The Beatles playing in concert with a symphony orchestra? You can find this out for yourself when Classical Mystery Tour, a tribute to The Beatles featuring original members of the Broadway sensation “Beatlemania,” performs live in concert with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra at the Palace Theater on October 21, at 8 p.m.

   The WSO’s first pop concert at the Palace is sure to be a big hit, especially if the concert Classical Mystery Tour performed at the Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles this past November is any indication. The Los Angeles Times called the show “more than just an incredible simulation...the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave Saturday’s live performance a high goose-bump quotient...the crowd stood and bellowed for more.”

   Classical Mystery Tour features David Leon (John Lennon) on rhythm guitar, piano, and vocals; Alan LeBoeuf (Paul McCartney) on bass guitar, piano, and vocals;  Tom Teeley (George Harrison) on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Camilleri (Ringo Starr) on drums and vocals. Maestro Bjaland will be conducting the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra.

   The concert by the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra is in direct response to the increasing demand for Beatles material, from the recent celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Beatles’ triumphant visit to the U.S., to the success of The Beatles Anthology and the Beatles 1 Album. Many Beatles fans never had the opportunity to experience a live Beatles show; Classical Mystery Tour offers that live experience in the comfort of the 2600-seat Palace Theater in Waterbury.

   “We have some real show stopping numbers,” says Owen. “I wish I could actually be in the audience to see and hear this show. The power of the emotional and nostalgic connection back to each of our individual experiences with The Beatles is hard to put into words.”

   Tickets for the Classical Mystery Tour range from $20 to $75 ($10 for students), and are available at the Palace Theater Box Office, online at www.palacetheaterct.org or by calling 203-755-4700.
