Tickets are only available in advance, reservations are not accepted. The special New Year's Eve tickets will be sent by mail in December. John Lennon was violently taken from life at only 40 years old. He, who made non-violence the core theme of his music. Music that still shines as brightly as ever: "Imagine all the people living life in peace – You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one." With the meteoric rise of the Beatles, pop music became pop culture, and with John Lennon, pop culture became a serious engagement with the here and now. The aging Alan (Daniel Rohr) runs a small taxi business offering Beatles tours in New York. Business is slow, but Alan has a lot to tell. He is helped by John Lennon's major solo hits such as "Imagine," "Jealous Guy," "Whatever Gets You Through The Night," as well as notable Beatles songs. Nina Attal ("Tribute to Prince"), Tobias Carshey ("Tribute to Leonard Cohen," "Tribute to Bruce Springsteen," "Tribute to Queen" and others) and Timo Meier ("Tribute to Queen") interpret Lennon's songs, accompanied by great musicians. After the opening show, we recommend the New Year's Eve dinner at our neighbors, Restaurant Rigiblick. You can find the menu and prices here, and to book, go here.
