In the sky with diamonds

In the sky with diamonds
 

This is what happens when simplicity meets the sublime. Eleven characters and three musicians play piano, percussion and cello; there is no script, just 45 musical gems by The Beatles. Written between 1963 and 1970, these masterpieces are engraved on the hearts of those who were 20 in the 1960s and will be a revelation for those who are 20 today. The show features the very early songs She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand, as well as the lesser known Black Bird and Lovely Rita, the unforgettable Help, Michelle, Hey Jude, Yesterday, Let it be, and Lucy in the sky with Diamonds, which gives the show its title. Whether they are sung solo, as a duet or by a chorus, eleven charismatic personalities, with guaranteed humour, charm and superb voices, bring back to life one of the loveliest chapters of 20th century popular music through these uniquely successful arrangements. After 18 triumphant months in Rio and São Paulo, this Brazilian musical spectacular shines just as brightly as the words and music of the Beatles. Pure gold.
