You might be forgiven if you walked into the Victory Theatre on Friday night and wondered if someone had somehow turned the clock back about 50 years. “1964  The Tribute brought the music, instruments, and mannerisms of the Beatles to life on stage with a two-hour show that showcased a catalogue of the band’s earlier touring years. Mark Benson (portraying John Lennon), Graham Alexander (as Paul McCartney), Tom Work (George Harrison), and Bobby Potter (Ringo Starr) provided fans with a pitch-perfect string of pre-Sgt. Pepper era hits interspersed with tongue-in-cheek banter complete with British accents. Even those in the audience too young to have seen the Beatles live back in the day seemed to enjoy this top-notch tribute.
“Beatlemainia was alive at the Victory tonight!†said General Manager Ben Bolander. “’1964’ … The Tribute was fantastic, a true replica of the classic 60’s band. It was incredible to see fans of all ages come out and enjoy the show.â€
The Victory Theatre continues a slate of upcoming events that include The Bob & Tom Comedy Show October 5, Don Williams October 17, and The Price is Right Live! Stage Show October 26.
The Victory Theatre is managed by VenuWorks of Evansville, LLC.
