COME TOGETHER: MAGIC/MUSIC/BEATLES


Discription: 
The first play in a 60's trilogy of musically advanced plays by john daniels, jr.  COME TOGETHER: MAGIC/MUSIC/BEATLES is a Rock-u-mentory.  It tells the story of the 60's by telling the story of The Beatles.  Thirty-five Beatles' songs are performed by a cast of storytellers.  No look alike Beatles are required, although four actors sometimes play the Beatles.  In many of the productions, some of the Beatles have been played by women.  Colorblind and nontraditional casting  work very well in COME TOGETHER.

CT has been produced by a university, a high school, a jr. high school, a professional company, and a two community theaters.  Each time the producing company has gotten permission to use the music themselves.  Two productions have been done with live bands, one with computerized music, two with Karoke tapes and one with a combination.  Many of the songs are played by the cast depending on individual talents.
CAST:  From 12 to 40 or more, any complement of males or females.
