Imagine Lennon
Experience an unforgettable and intimate evening celebrating the legacy of John Lennon, brought to life by the internationally acclaimed Tyson Kelly as John Lennon – renowned for his striking portrayal of Lennon in Broadway’s Let It Be and in the UK and World’s number one Beatles tribute The Bootleg Beatles for seven years.
With over 15 years of dedication to the role, Kelly’s uncanny look and sound-a-like embodies Lennon’s voice, presence, and artistry with remarkable authenticity – having the rare combination of the natural vocal timbre and vocal talent with the youthfulness and visual appearance of John Lennon. Backed by a five-piece powerhouse band he presents an elegant journey through the brilliant music of Lennon (and McCartney). Witness first-hand stories about Lennon’s catalogue all the way from Please Please Me to Double Fantasy with a decade of solo hits and a carefully selected collection of the undeniable B-side favourites fans will love to hear.
A gifted musician with a long-standing background in drama and musical theatre, Kelly’s performance is deeply personal, shaped by a life-long passion for The Beatles and a deep connection to Lennon and his song-writing. Talent is in the blood, hailing from a rich musical heritage, his father, Tom Kelly, co-wrote iconic hits including Like a Virgin (Madonna) and True Colors (Cyndi Lauper) amongst others.
This captivating production is a sophisticated homage to one of music’s most enduring icons, making it a must-see event for all John Lennon and discerning Beatles fans alike.
“Honestly one of the best shows I’ve seen. Tyson Kelly and his band are world class. It’s the closest thing to seeing Lennon that you’re likely to get.”
