Stage sensation Lady Beatle returns to Brisbane’s original “Lonely Hearts Club” at La Boite’s Roundhouse Theatre this August, kick-starting a three-month magical mystery tour across the country.
Presented by The Little Red Company (Rumour Has It; Christmas Actually) and Critical Stages Touring, the critically-acclaimed musical memorial to The Beatles again stars Australian entertainer Naomi Price (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical; Ladies in Black; The Voice Australia) as the titular character, revealing a whimsical tale inspired by true events and set to a soundtrack of The Fab Four’s biggest hits.
Iconic songs including Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Here Comes the Sun and Penny Lane are reimagined, reinterpreted and performed live by Price and a band of Australia’s top musicians.
“Lady Beatle is an enigmatic and wholly original character; she could be The Beatles’ biggest fan, or she could be someone entirely different and I take such delight in teasing out her true identity until she makes her swansong,” Price said.
“When Adam and I delved into The Beatles’ remarkable catalogue to create the show, we discovered their world was populated with seemingly ordinary people – the barber, banker, fireman and nurse in Penny Lane; the meter maid star of Lovely Rita; the teenage runaway who inspired She’s Leaving Home – ordinary people who have unknowingly become part of an extraordinary musical and cultural legacy.
“Lady Beatle is our homage to these characters and others whose stories might never have been told were it not for four ordinary lads from Liverpool.”
Lady Beatle begins its extensive three-month tour at La Boite from August 7-10 before twisting and shouting through 32 venues across Australia.
