One man show about the Fab Four debuts this Saturday
The Fab Four will reunite for an evening of truth, tunes, and trivia during the 11th annual New York International Fringe Festival August 8th through the 24th. New to the Festival this year, the johnpaulgeorgeringo show features New York City native Dave Jay, who seamlessly morphs between distinct impersonations of The Beatles to take the audience on a unique magical mystery exploration.
johnpaulgeorgeringo is a unique one man show that combines historical fact and emotional truth. Completely improvised by Dave Jay, audience members guide the show with questions and requests for their favorite Beatle, such as "John, what was it like working with Phil Spector?" and "Paul, what was your inspiration for 'Yesterday'?"
Armed with an astonishing amount of knowledge about the Fab Four and an unmistakable Liverpudlian accent, Dave Jay responds, morphing between John, Paul, George, and Ringo and performing impromptu songs on his acoustic guitar. johnpaulgeorgeringo is a must-see show for Beatles fans.
Dave Jay is a prolific performing songwriter/entertainer who began writing songs at age 9, imagining himself to be the 5th Monkee. His music, which has been compared to Elvis Costello meeting the Beatles in a tug of war with the Beach Boys, can be found on his latest CD, "Songs for Today's Attention Span," as well as his debut CD of children's music, "Balloon To The Moon."
