    Presented all over the country, “Beatlemania Now”, is set to be staged in Wantage Township on June 7 at the High Point Regional High School sponsored by the Wantage Township First Aid Squad.

    As a musical tribute to the Beatles, Beatlemania was originally produced on Broadway with four look alike, sound alike professional musicians who capture the spirit and energy of the group. The current cast of “Beatlemania Now” wears authentic costumes and utilize instruments dating back to the Beatles era. They start off wearing the famous “Ed Sullivan” suits while performing hits from that time frame, moving into the Sergeant Pepper era and ending up at Abbey Road.

    Each band member takes a solo spot with moving versions of “Yesterday” and “Imagine” being highlights. The benefit concert will help the Wantage First Aid Squad with operating expenses as well as squad member training and education programs.

    The show starts at 8 p.m. with general admission tickets $17 in advance or $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at www.myeasytix.com or by calling 877-840-0457.
