Lennon - Through A Glass Onion

Off-Broadway-at The Union Square Theatre


Where does the time go?  On what would have been his 74th Birthday,  I was priveledged to be sitting in the audience partaking in  this musical tribute to the legend, John Lennon. 
Whether you are a true Lennon groupie, or it’s just all about the Beatles, you will not want to miss this concert/musical revue.   This is pure Lennon with 31 one songs rocking out with two dudes, one piano, one guitar, on a stage drenched in smoky haze.

 

For you rockers who really dislike the Broadway scene, it’s a perfect setting for you with minimal but “ compelling” dialogue by John R. Waters (not to be confused with John Waters of American Film Fame) playing the role of Lennon who gives you a  bit of background and inspiration behind the music.    I never knew a lot of these facts, and am sure I will think of these things the next time I hear one of these songs.  You will find the very popular tunes, to some his lesser known music.  Gone and never to be forgotten, John Lennon was a brilliant songwriter,  and he has left a legacy in his music.   In case you are wondering, “The Glass Onion” is actually the

name of one of Lennon’s songs in the show.  Something else I never knew.


You cannot Imagine how this one ends, can you?    But you really need to find out
