New York metro area public television station WLIW21 will re-broadcast their special premiere presentation of the acclaimed Beatles concert RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles on Saturday, March 19 at 10pm and Sunday, March 20 at 7:30pm.

The 90-minute program also features in-studio interviews with two original band members of RAIN – Joey Curatolo (‘Paul McCartney’) and Steve Landes (‘John Lennon’).

RAIN – A Tribute to The Beatles On Broadway recently reopened at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre for an extended run on Broadway after recouping its initial investment of $2million while playing a 13 week engagement at the Neil Simon Theatre. The show features a full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, including songs that the group recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition to Curatolo and Landes, the production stars Joe Bithorn and Ralph Castelli. At certain performances, the concert will also feature the talents of Graham Alexander, Joe Bologna, Douglas Cox, Jim Irizarry, John Korba, David Leon, Jimmy Pou, Mac Ruffing, Chris Smallwood and Tom Teeley.
