Beatlemania is a chronological survey of Beatles music, starting from the members' stint in Hamburg (Germany), to their final days together. This musical-concert was presented in few segments: Hamburg period (with Pete Best), Liverpool, the BBC Sessions, Ed Sulliven Show in the USA, and their subsequent events such as the movie A Hard Day's Night, Sergeant Pepper's period etc.
As a musical staging, it could be monotonous as there was not much dramatic elements into it. The stage set was simple, with simple projection screen acting as backdrops and indicating the period they were in. As a performance, however, the 4 actors put up a good show. Most of them did have some resemblance to the original members and they sounded like them too. The band was tight and their playing and singing were definitely the highlight of the show.
This is the 50th anniversary of Beatles conquering the United States music scene. It was thus timely that we were treated to an enjoyable performance by this tribute band. It just reminded us how great the music of the Beatles are, and how Paul, John, George and Ringo would continue to win new fans over the next 50 years and more.
