West Chester University’s (WCU) WCU Live! series will present Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience on Friday, Feb. 28, at 7:00 PM. Tickets range from $20-$30 and are now on sale to the public here or by calling 610.436.2266. The event takes place in the Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall, Philips Memorial Building (700 S. High Street, West Chester).
Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience is not just another Beatles tribute band. It is a unique experience that puts the audience in control. Performed by brothers Billy, Matthew, and Ryan McGuigan and their band, the show relies on the audience to choose the entire setlist. Before the show, audience members are asked to fill out a request card with their name, favorite Beatles song, and the reason why they chose that song. Minutes before the show starts, these cards are collected, and a custom set list is created based on the audience’s requests. Throughout the night, the band weaves the audience’s personal stories, and the McGuigan’s own heartfelt memories attached to the Beatles’ music, into the performance, creating a one-of-a-kind narrative that makes every show different.
Remaining WCU Live! shows this season include: Robin Roberts as part of the President’s Speaker Series on Friday, Apr. 4 at 7:00 PM; and Tamagawa University Taiko Drumming and Dance on Tuesday, Apr. 8 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale here.
