2023.02.10 Beatles vs Stones

Venice Performing Arts Center, Tampa

In February of 1964, a very special performance took place in New York City that changed the world of entertainment as well as the lives of millions of people forever. The British Invasion was underway, and the music that resulted from it became the soundtrack to the lives of millions!

Fans of BEATLES vs STONES rave that these are the songs that were playing in the background when they went away to college, when they had their first date with the love of their lives, when they went away to (and returned from) the war, and so many other pivotal and memorable occasions.

Featuring the most thrilling battle-of-the-bands that could ever be, BEATLES vs STONES goes toe-to-toe (Beatle-boot-to-Chelsea-boot?) with the biggest hits from the two greatest musical groups of all time! Who will win? Perhaps the black-suited Beatle band (Sgt. Pepper) performing the songs that captivated the world on the Ed Sullivan Show?

Or will it be Stones band Jumping Jack Flash, resplendent in their 60’s mod finery performing the song of the same name? Who will win? The audience wins as BEATLES vs STONES takes them back in time to re-live the greatest musical moments of their lives!

These two doppelganger casts of musical performers will have you gasping in disbelief that you could possibly have managed to score front-row tickets to see what appears to be (but of course cannot be) the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, on-stage together.

Fans of the show love the ever-changing wardrobes and humorous on-stage dialogue as the two bands make good-natured jokes at the expense of the other. But it’s the finale that has audiences on their feet cheering, clapping, and singing along as they witness a “mash-up” of hit songs from both catalogues. It’s a theater experience that you will never forget…
