Calling All Beatles Fans

Visit my Arkansas every Monday for a look at what’s going on in the world of arts and culture.

 

If you missed the smash-hit RAIN last year, you have a chance to catch it this spring in northwest Arkansas. RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles will be at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville for a 7 p.m. show on May 7. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m., this Friday, Jan. 20. Tickets range from $38 to $54 depending on seating.

According to a WAC press release, “RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience; a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups. “ It is part of WAC’s 20th Anniversary Specials. Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479-443-5600 or by visiting Waltonartscenter.org. For more information on RAIN, visit Raintribute.com.

The Walton Arts Center is located on Dickson Street in downtown Fayetteville in the popular entertainment district. There are numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance if you want to make a full evening of it. You’ll find restaurants in all price ranges.
