Tribute to John Lennon

Description

Reprise 2026 with new singers! John Lennon was violently taken from life at just 40 years old. He, who chose non-violence as the central theme of his music. Music that still shines as brightly today 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 becomes pop culture; with John Lennon, pop culture becomes a serious engagement with the here and now. The aging Alan (Daniel Rohr) runs a small taxi company offering Beatles tours in New York. Business is slow, but Alan has much to share. He is aided by John Lennon's great 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 many more) and Timo Meier ("Tribute to Queen") interpret Lennon's songs, accompanied by great musicians.
