FabForever: Beatles Tribute

July 3rd

8:30 pm

Capitol Main Stage

Award-winning producer Jerry Peluso, (who brought the internationally acclaimed Fab Four from obscurity to the stages of the Las Vegas strip) guarantees a spectacular time for all, with a superstar line-up that will suspend disbelief for all Beatles fans. “I’ve been waiting for a show like this my whole life," Peluso said. "Fab Forever not only looks and sounds exactly like the original lads from Liverpool, but they truly capture the spirit of The Beatles in concert.”

Actors / musicians Gary Gibson (John), Todd Rainey (Paul), Jimmy Pou (George) and Carmine Grippo (Ringo) are all recognized among the top Beatles performers in the world.

Gary Gibson has been called the closest performer you will ever find to the late John Lennon. Elton John shared the stage with Gary and said, "You must be related." Tom Jones exclaimed, "I thought I saw a bloody ghost." But Gary's talent goes far beyond his incredible look. His voice, accent (real) and stage antics easily suspend disbelief for even the most ardent critic.

Left-handed Todd Rainey’s stunning vocal range and boyish good looks are so accurate that his portrayal of Paul McCartney is unmatched in the Beatles world. This young Michigan native truly is the envy of all other professional Beatles impressionists

After an exhaustive world search, Fab Forever turned to the USA's own Beatlemania alumni Jimmy Pou to supply the most visually stunning and vocally talented musician to fill the Beatle boots of the quiet and spiritual Beatle, George Harrison. Jimmy's effortless stage movements and detailed distinctive Harrison guitar style wows the audience into a standing ovation every show.

Anyone who has ever seen the L.A. based long-running Beatles show The MopTops will instantly recognize the extremely talented Carmine Grippo. Carmine's world-class drumming; jaw-dropping resemblance to Ringo Starr and incredible wit has even the hardest skeptics wondering if it really is Ringo.
 

Fab Forever: A Musical History Tour features a variety of Beatles songs and costumes that is sure to entertain. For more information on Fab Forever, check out their official website at www.fabforever.net.
