I saw the show in Dublin on Mon 4th April..... a spectacular show and a must for all Beatles Fanatics. However, the show falls between two stools in my opinion, neither a full blown tribute show nor an engaging drama. More like a Beatles jukebox viewed from afar by the audience who aren't involved. The Bootlegs from the UK and the US Fab Four are much better stand in Beatles with better voices, appearance and mannerisms. And they engage with the audience. The Sessions had an obsession with the technical accuracy of Studio 2, mics and instruments at the expense of entertainment value and audience engagement. Technical info projected on screen about the recordings is not necessary as it's all available on the internet for anyone interested. Love to hear views from other audience members.

At least some people got to see it - all cancelled now
I hate to say this, but the singer is off a few times, which makes me reconsider...
