Celebrate the music of The Beatles with Broadway’s new show, “Let It Be,” at the St. James Theatre. Featuring 40 of the band’s greatest hits, the play uses state-of-the-art projection technology and 3D sound charts The Beatles’ rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the heights of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces.

The two-hour show includes live performances of “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “Drive My Car,” “Yesterday,” “Hey Jude,” “Come Together” and “Let It Be.”

“We have very important jobs because these people will never get to see The Beatles,” James Fox, one of the stars of the show, told the Associated Press. “This is the closest they’ll come, so the representation has to be pretty accurate. It’s a big responsibility.”
