1964: As The Beatles In Concert will take
their audience on a musical journey to a bygone
era when girls fainted over the sight of the four
singing Liverpudlians.
The group 1964 is made up of four "lovely
lads" who have re-created the experiences of
the original Fab Four. Mark Benson (John Len
non), uary crimes (Faui McCartney;, 10m
Work (George Harrison) and Terry Manfredi
(Ringo Starr) are the master weavers of the
Beatles' timeless music, magic and excitement.
"1964 is incredible. They actually think they
are the Beatles," said Scott Derrick, program
adviser for the Carolina Program Union.
