Lennon: Through A Glass Onion to close 6 weeks early
Australian actor/musician John R. Waters and singer/pianist Stewart D'Arrietta's John Lennon tribute show Lennon: Through A Glass Onion will close early at off-Broadway's Union Square Theatre. It was originally scheduled to end its limited run on 22 February 2015, but will now play its final performance on 11 January. It officially opened on 15 October 2014, following previews from 3 October.
"Part concert and part biography, Lennon: Through A Glass Onion reveals the essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the most admired icons of the past century with a story and 31 songs including "Imagine," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Revolution," "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds," "All You Need is Love," "Come Together," "Help," "Working Class Hero," "Mother," "Jealous Guy," and more."
Having debuted the show in 1992 at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney, Waters and D'Arrietta have taken the show on and seen it evolve to even fill the Sydney Opera House or enjoy a three month engagement in London's West End. According to Waters: "Rather than impersonate, I want to evoke Lennon's honesty, bitter-sweet humor, self criticism and disdain for pomposity. Having performed this piece in cities around the world for the last two decades, I am thrilled to make my New York debut with this show."
