all you need is love! - The Beatles musical
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE returns to the stage to mark the 60th anniversary of the Beatles album "Please Please Me". The hit musical about the legendary mushroom heads can be seen on January 21 in Stuttgart's Theaterhaus and on January 27 in Karlsruhe's Konzerthaus.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE tells the story of the Beatles, from the Star Club to world fame. In 1960, four young men came together to form the band "The Beatles". A decade followed in which the so-called "Fab Four" wrote music history and left hits for eternity. Their first album, "Please Please Me", was released in 1963. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr recorded the LP in just twelve hours in the Abbey Road studios - with hits such as "P.S. I Love You", "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout" that are still unforgotten today. Like almost all subsequent Beatles LPs up to 1970, "Please Please Me" rose to the top of the British charts and was the starting signal for an incomparable global career.

60 years after the release of the premiere album, the Beatles return to the stage. Although it is not the originals who appear in the musical produced by Bernhard Kurz, it is their perfectly recorded counterparts. With songs such as "Help", "Love Me Do", "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude", the band "Twist & Shout" from Las Vegas embodies the legendary mushroom heads in such an amazingly authentic way, both musically and visually, that the atmosphere with which the Beatles once captivated the crowds is brought back to life. However, the artists not only impress with their professional live singing. Their great acting talent also comes to the fore in the recurring spoken episodes and short stories. Authentic costumes and historical video recordings make the illusion perfect and transport the audience back to the 1960s. The audience can relive that legendary decade in which the Beatles seemingly effortlessly churned out one global hit after another and drove the competition to despair.

The musical is divided into two acts. In the first part, the performers recount the beginnings of the Beatles, who came to Hamburg in 1960 and initially played as a backing band in strip clubs and pubs, later giving their first concerts and finally making their breakthrough in the USA. In the second part, "Beatlemania" finally breaks out. The band brought their fans to ecstasy at gigs and also set new standards in terms of fashion and lifestyle. At the height of their career, in 1970, the Beatles announce their separation after their last and world-famous concert on the roof of the Apple Records record label in London. But the legend lives on!
