HELP! Auditions for Beatles musical come to Liverpool

The Cavern Club played host to West End producers, as it held an open audition to find young musicians to play John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Let It Be, the new Beatles musical, will open in September to mark 50 years since the Fab Four’s first chart hit Love Me Do in 1962.

The live theatrical concert at London’s Prince of Wales theatre – where the band famously appeared at the 1963 Royal Variety Performance – will be packed with Beatles hits.

And it is the first time the full rights for the Beatles’ catalogue has been granted for a West End production.
