Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience is not just another Beatles tribute band–it’s a unique experience that puts the audience in control. Performed by brothers Billy, Matthew and Ryan McGuigan and their band, the show relies on the audience to choose the entire set list.
Before the show, audience members are asked to fill out a request card with their name, favorite Beatles song, and the reason why they chose that song. Minutes before the show starts, these cards are collected and a custom set list is created based on the audience’s requests. Throughout the night, the band weaves the audience’s personal stories, and the McGuigan’s own heartfelt memories attached to the Beatles’ music, into the performance, creating a one-of-a-kind narrative that makes every show different.
