Beatles Musical Reported Heading West End London

Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle are adapting their 2019 film 'Yesterday' into a West End musical featuring The Beatles' iconic songs, including 'The Long And Winding Road', 'All You Need Is Love', and 'Hey Jude'. The duo recently showcased a preliminary performance to major London theatre investors such as Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber while seeking a theatre to host the production. Industry insiders expect a bidding war for theatre space due to the show's immense potential and the timeless appeal of The Beatles' catalogue, predicting it could run for many years. The plot centers on a struggling musician who, after an accident, discovers he is the only person who remembers The Beatles, a premise that translates well to the stage. This musical would continue the trend of successful stage tributes to legendary musical acts like Queen and Michael Jackson. Curtis has emphasized that securing the rights to The Beatles' music was crucial for making the original film and is key to the musical's development.
