8 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2018 REUNION TOUR Explosive history The Beatles return May 5 at Florence Events Center. That’s right — The Beatles are back together. Never mind that two of their members are no longer alive. The Reunion Beatles - Fantasy Tribute is the rock and roll reunion of all time: the con- cert that never was. In this show, John, Paul, George & Ringo are back together and celebrating with a concert that features their most memorable songs and solo hits. Similar to the hit Broadway musical “Jersey Boys,” The Reunion Beatles - Fantasy Tribute weaves a story into a 90-minute performance. In the story, all of the Beatles mem- bers are alive and have decided to get back together again. Their reunion includes the beloved songs “My Sweet Lord,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Hey Jude,” “Revolution,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Live & Let Die,” “Yesterday,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “All You Need Is Love” and many more. Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010 by Got Live Entertainment, The Reunion Beatles have performed for delighted audiences of all ages around the world and have received critical acclaim for their musicianship and ability to “channel” the four individu- als who made a massive impact in the 60’s and ever since. Got Live’s President, Wayne Coy, believes that the concept was long overdue. “I got tired of seeing the same old same old with tribute shows,” Coy said. “They’re good, but there’s a million of them.” He continued, “As a huge Beatles fan myself, I felt there had to be another way to pay tribute to them. This show is decidedly different. Yes, John and George have passed on. But, what if they hadn’t? Would the Beatles have gotten back together again? And if they did, what would that concert have been like? This production answers that question. It is the concert we believe they would have done, filled with stories, laughter and of course, those incredible, timeless songs that are so well loved.” The show includes perform- ers who have perfected the impersonations of the individu- als they represent, including Nick Bold in the role of George Harrison. “We put you into a dream world,” Bold said. “What a fan- tastic thing it would be if it were true, so suspend your belief for a few hours. We hope we can make that happen.” The Reunion Beatles - Fantasy Tribute will be in Florence on Saturday, May 5, at 7 p.m. at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St. Tickets are available from the box office, online at eventcenter.org or by calling 541-997-1994. PHOTOS BY JARED ANDERSON/SIUSLAW NEWS History was brought to vivid life last week as students from Siuslaw Middle School last week as Civil War reenactors and his- torians from across the state brought muskets, cannons and knowledge to the students who learned how to march in for- mation, use artillery and learn what it was like to fight in America’s redefining conflict. “I think it went really well,” said Social Studies Teacher Heather Wiggins, who helped organize the annual event. “It was more hands on than it was in the past. We even got to eat black pow- der. I tried it, and it was extremely bitter.” B ACKSTREET Backstreet Gallery is accept- ing applications for the public to submit artwork for The Bots and Beguiling Beings Show.
