HELP 10+
A musical theatre performance about the younger days of The Beatles
Liverpool, right after the war. Imagine, your mum passes away at a young age and you haven't got a penny to spend. All you have is a guitar, a dream and this new sound. HELP is about the most famous band on the planet, four boys who conquer heaven and persevere. An exciting musical story about friendship, jealousy and of course about an insatiable burning passion for music. Experience the roots of Beatle mania!
