The forthcoming West End production celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles, Let It Be, has unveiled its company as they performed a spectacular rooftop gig in Central London, echoing The Beatles’ famous 1969 performance on top of the Apple building on Savile Row.
The company of Let It Be announced their arrival in the West End by playing an impromptu gig including hits Twist and Shout, Hard Day’s Night and, of course, Let It Be, to an invited audience at the Vista bar on the rooftop of The Trafalgar, overlooking the London Skyline.
Previews of
Let It Be in the West End start on 14 September at Cameron Mackintosh’s Prince of Wales Theatre, with the opening night on 24 September. The show will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles’ first single. Love Me Do was released on 5th October 1962.
The company of
Let It Be consists of ten performers, who will share roles from night to night. Performing on the rooftop today were Emanuelle Angeletti, Reuven Gershon, Stephen Hill and Gordon Elsmore. These four will alternate the lead roles with Ian Garcia, Michael Gagliano, John Brosnan and Phil Martin, while they be joined for several songs by Ryan Farmery and Michael Bramwell on keyboards.
The company of
Let It Be was formed by producers following an international talent search, including open auditions at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool. Hopeful musicians from all over the UK, and beyond, were auditioned, with only the very best being invited to join the company.
