Backbeat – Die Beatles in Hamburg

In the organizer's words:

Musical by Iain Softley and Stephen Jeffreys based on the Universal feature film of the same name

Hamburg, Reeperbahn 1960: Five young, passionate musicians from Liverpool take up an engagement at the INDRA music club. Their names: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe. The pay is miserable, the accommodation is poor and world fame is a long way off. Nobody yet suspects that music history is being written here, but the "mushroom heads" soon win the hearts of the public. The first problems soon arise: The friendship between the band members is put to the test when Stuart Sutcliffe leaves the band for love of the photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who was to be the first to shape their image.
"Backbeat - The Beatles in Hamburg" tells of the beginnings of the "Fab Four" and invites you on a musical journey through time with songs such as "Love me do" and "I saw her standing there". Back in the 2013/14 season, "Backbeat" became a long-standing audience success as the German-language premiere at the Altonaer Theater. Now the "Fab Four" are returning to the stage - as a new production with a new cast.
