The Wellmont Theater presents 1964: The Tribute

originally published: 09/20/2022


(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- The Wellmont Theater presents 1964: The Tribute on Friday, January 6, 2023.  “1964”  focuses on the quintessential moment in history, when The Beatles actually played before a LIVE audience. Doors are at 7:00pm, showtime is 8:00pm.

The Beatles toured the world in the early 1960’s, but now only a  precious few remain who actually saw them LIVE. Who actually felt the “mania” that brought them to world acclaim. Today, all that remains are a few scant memories and some captured images in pictures and on poor quality film and video.

“1964” meticulously re-creates the “MAGIC” of those LIVE Beatles’ performances with artful precision and unerring accuracy. For those that never saw The Beatles LIVE and always wanted to know what it must have been like…this is as close as anyone could possibly get to…FEELING the MAGIC!

For over 30 years, “1964” has thrilled audiences with what is considered to be the most authentic and endearing tribute to The Beatles. This has been accomplished by a  steady and  consistent cast of talented professional musicians, who painstakingly recreate the look, feel and note for note sound of an actual LIVE Beatles performance.

The band includes Mark Benson as John Lennon; Mac Ruffing as Paul McCartney; Tom Work as George Harrison; and Robert Potter as Ringo Starr.

1964 The Tribute is not endorsed by or affiliated with Apple Corps, LTD.
