The Historic Theater plays The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years

Description

We all know the moment, February 9, 1964 at 8:12 PM EST – after a brief commercial break, four young men from Liverpool step onto the Ed Sullivan stage, changing culture forever.  Seventy-three million people watched The Beatles perform that night – the largest audience to date in television history.  It was an event that united a nation and signaled the birth of a youth culture as we know it today.  But while this single performance introduced The Beatles to America – the band had already taken Europe by storm the previous year – what the band did next would introduce them to the entire world, permanently transforming the music industry and forever engraining them into the fabric of popular culture.

From Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week focuses on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. Hear the story of these exceptional touring years – from the perspectives of the band, its orbit, the fans, and their world.
