Ticket to Ride invites you "across the universe" on a "magical mystery tour" exploring the Beatles' "revolution" in popular music and culture. Employing authentic "Beatle" instruments, amplifiers and costumes, coupled with faithful renditions of your favorite Beatle classics, "Ticket" recreates the spirit of the "Fab Four" in ways that have audiences raving about them "eight days a week."

Gary, who portrays John, stands at the microphone in a quiet authoritative manner. He performs on rhythm guitar, sings lead vocals with a fiery yearning, and speaks in a Scouse accent while delivering segues between songs. He is the joker who initiates the sly gems of wit, which his mates instantly add on to with mischievous pleasure. True to his stage persona, Gary weaves the dream.
 

Lennon must have a McCartney, and Gary has a more than worthy protégé to play that role. Mike plays bass, moaning the addictive rock-as-a-painkiller chorus of 'Hippy Hippy Shake' and cooing the doe-eyed loveliness of 'Things We Said Today' with equal ease. Paul was known as the charismatic Beatle, and Mike has mastered that charm.

If 'music is the food of love' then Matt Newman, the group's George Harrison, is a Romeo. As he leans over his guitar, eyes twinkling, life becomes one undeniably catchy set of chords and sinewy riffs. Responsibilities cease to exist; all that matters is the down-and-dirty trance great musicians (and Matt's obsessive fans) know as excellent guitar work, as well as his noteworthy vocals.

A band cannot do their job without a steady beat behind them. Pat Kierstead  who portrays Ringo, slams the skins with an agile expertise. While his playing is clearly influenced by the amazing Mr. Starkey, it possesses a personal touch. Sample this, The Chemical Brothers.

Lastly, there is "Too Tall" Calvert. The adjective may only be true in the metaphysical sense, but he fills a tall order indeed. Supplying all of the needed sound effects, "Too Tall" thinks nothing of being George Martin and Billy Preston in the same night. Not since Murray the K has a man made so much use of his fifth Beatle status.
