Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles Tickets
Beginning as a tribute act, Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles later became a Broadway production that toured around the country. The tribute band has performed hundreds of shows over the years and is actually the longest-running tribute act dedicated to The Beatles. The group gets its name from The Beatles track Rain, which is the reverse side of the 45-rpm single Paperback Writer. Rain is an opportunity to see a live performance of The Beatles' greatest hits and serves as a celebration of
Abbey Road
, the last album The Beatles recorded together. It remained at the No. 1 spot in the United States for 11 of its 83 weeks on the US Top 10 chart.

Rain opens with four young men with long dark hair representing the young musicians in the Cavern Club in 1962. The scene on stage changes to the Ed Sullivan show in the United States, chronicles The Beatles' growing popularity and ends with a huge audience in Shea Stadium in New York. When the scene changes, psychedelic effects mimic The Beatles' experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs and eastern religions. The show closes with The Beatles' last album,
Abbey Road
, at the end of the '60s.
