Commentaires : Bob Eaton’s biographical version of the Lennon story was first launched in Liverpool in 1981, soon after the murder of John Lennon in New York. The production eventually transferred to the Astoria Theatre in London where it had a successful run, with Mark McGann being nominated for an Olivier Award for his performance. The show was prevented from any further productions when the rights were revoked after Michael Jackson acquired the Beatles back catalogue. Following the death of Jackson, permission was given for a revival in Liverpool in 2010. During the run Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon visited London and went to see the show, and after the show met up with the cast and Julian Lennon.

Presse : "The words “a star is born” can be hazardous, but Emi Wokoma, who plays Tina Turner in this “bio-musical”, is blessed with star quality and a voice that’s rawly emotional yet also regal. ." Henry Hitchens for The Evening Standard
