Rain: A Tribute To the Beatles (Chicago)

I love the Beatles and the tribute was amazing I wish they would have sang "come together" that would have made my night. But all the song were just fantastic

Very authentic. Brought back lots of memories for my parents.

Amazing, exceeded expectations and have seen several tribute bands. A must see for Beatle fans

GREAT SHOW!! It brought back lots of memories. If you grew up with the Beatles music Rain is a must see show.

I was great. I knew all the songs. I took my 15 year old son and my dad. Could not stop talking about it.

60s music for those in their 60s who saw it first on Ed Sullivan. very entertaining and great musicianship.

Wonderful show we loved the whole thing from start to finish

These four moptops had the mannerisms as well as the voices of the original Beatles....most especially "John". When "Paul" sang his solos, it was as if you were back in time. The harmonies and out of this world visual effects...Lonely Hearts Club Band....were true entertainment. I would go again next year!! One negative....forget the closeup screens on them....up close you could see it wasn't the Beatles.... if it weren't for the closeups, you could really believe they WERE THE BEATLES!!!!

I was skeptical about going to this show, but I am absolutely pleased that I did. Although I am not from The Beatles era I am familiar and enjoyed myself very much. I would definitely recommend this show. The only disappointment was the length of the show. Way too short, 2 hrs is not enough, with the intermission it was more like 1/12 hrs.

The performance of RAIN that we attended was very enjoyable. The visuals and the costuming were a plus to the experience. This is a top notch cover band, and I'd expect to see them touring in the future.

The Beatles are a part of history, no doubt. And the cast of "Rain" brings that history to life, for both young and old. The sounds, mannerisms and costuming are all "on point." Sitting back and reliving those younger days made a hot day real "cool."

What a delight - Rain really was just an incredible experience - the music as well as the visual effects and their costuming to emulate the Beatles was great. Wonderful memories as we re-lived the numerous Beatles tunes - a nice variety.

This show is for all ages!!! Loved it... I took my father and we had a blast!! Wish more people would have danced.

good show. highly recommended. The band did a nice job getting everyone involved, and keeping the audience entertained.

Really enjoyed the Rain tribute to the Beatles but just felt a little mislead. The Playbill page reads "Starring....... ", then lists the 4 guys who are from the original cast and pictured on all the signage outside. In reality, for an 8 PM on a Saturday night show there were four other guys performing as the Beatles. They were great and put on a terrific show but just wondered why such an effort is made to promote the other 4 guys when they don't even appear? Maybe it's like TranSiberian Orchestra or the Blue Man Group with multiple groups in different shows.

The show was excellent. It mixed the line music of spot-on Beatles tribute band Rain with archival footage of the 60s including hilarious old TV commercials.

Had a great time at Rain. The audience was singing, dancing and clapping along for most of the songs. It was overall, a great tribute to the Beatles and very entertaining.

What an incredible performance. The look, the sound, the feel - it was a total blast into the past... I wish it was in town longer, I would have gone back to see it again. Everyone had a great time! Definitely would recommend this to anyone - young or old, Beatles fan or not - truly a great show!!

Absolutely loved Rain. a Must see for any Beatles fan, gets you out of your chair singing and dancing.

My husband and I took our 12 year old daughter and she loved it as much as we did! The visual history lesson was a great element of the show!

I loved the show. Seen it last year, but was even better this year!!

This is the 2nd time we've seen Rain, and we'll come back again

As close to the real thing as taking a time machine. The accents of the mop heads was excellent and the well rounded array of standards let you relive a great time in the history of music. Well worth it!!!!

This was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I would recommend it to everyone.

I took my son...ginormous Beatles fan. He really didn't expect to enjoy this show. Boy, was he pleasantly surprised. Well staged, thoroughly entertaining, multigenerationally appealing. We had a blast singing and dancing to so many beloved songs. Take someone you love along with you soon!

Fab-tastic show, a crowd pleaser for sure. Audience left entertained and energized!!

Wonderful music sounded just like the Beatles! I would recommend this to anyone who loves their music! Seats were wonderful and parking was easy but expensive

I felt like I was witnessing the Beatles Concert I never attended. I was 10 when they came to Milwaukee for $3 a ticket and had parents who would not take us. Now I was there. I have seen Paul in concert 3 times and felt like I was watching him live again. All did an excellent job bring the feeling of the Beatles to this 60's girl! Our seats to far left were supposed to have obstructed view but they were great seats

Rain really sounded like the Beatles. The bands costumes and music sequencing reflected the evolution of the Beatles from rock and roll boy band to political activists.

Being 13 when the Beatles made it big, they were a big part of my music during my teenage years! I still have their early 45's and LP's. This group of guys put on an amazing show full of energy and audience response! They totally captured the essence of "Beatlemania" and brought back lots of great memories! We made friends with the people around us and just had a great time. It's too bad the show has such a short run in Chicago!

The guy that was John Lennon was absolutely fabulous. If I didn't see him, I would have thought it was John.

This was a fabulous show! The performers were top notch and it felt like we were at a live Beatles concert. What a thrill!

My husband and I had a great time! The music was superb. The costumes and set looked amazing.

This is a wonderful event with talented performers and visual backgrounds that reflect the Beatle period. Old images bring back memories and audience shots are full of fun. I would highly recommend this show to everyone of every age.

As close to going to a live Beatles show as you can get.

Excellent performance. Great music and show. They rock!

This show was incredible. It showcased so many of the Beatles tunes taking us through the different stages, dress and sounds of their career. The performers in Rain captured the Beatles voices and mannerisms perfectly!

This was my first time seeing an event at the Charles F Dodge City Center Pembroke Pines. I will definitely be back for more. Great visibility through out the auditorium, good acoustics and Oh! Let me tell you about the performance. Amazing, it was the Beatles that I never got to see when I was younger. Non stop hit after hit performed by amazing musicians! The graphics were great and everyone in the crowd sang and danced to their favorites. Something else was that the ushers and other employees were very friendly and personable

Rain did the Beetles proud! They looked the part, sounded the part and did all the songs you expected and then some. The first set took you way back to the early days and included some great on-screen videos of days of old. The second set they came out in the iconic Sergeant Pepper Costumes and did many songs from that era. The third set was more of the war era and they costumed up and changed for that look as well. Just when you thought they were going to leave out one of my favorite songs...they closed with it...but I won't give it away. I was fortunate to be winterizing in Pompano Beach and got tickets for myself and 2 friends to see the first show of the tour at Pembroke Pines. They'll be coming to Schenectady March 2nd & 3rd and I'll be bringing my family.

Our 1st time at the new Pembroke Pines center and great event. We had the best seats in the house and Rain's performance was for the ages. All members of the band were flawless and would definitively go back to see them again. I would only recommend they drop some of the St Peppers' songs (mostly unknown) to bring major hits such as Michelle, Yellow Submarine, etc...back into the playlist.

Concert was a trip back in history. The videos were very appropriate. The guys dressed in Beatles clothes and Sgt. Pepper outfits were beautiful. Music was unforgettable and outstanding.

Very realistic ksound. Played all the favorites two encores. Well executed

Show was good my wife and I had a good time but they didn't play all their big hits a lot of songs I never heard before

Wonderful musicians, great stage production. Felt I was back in the 70's.

Very good performance of the Beatles songs. For those of us who were around during Beatlemania, the multimedia presentation did a good job of setting the mood of the times when the songs were released. The couple that sat next to me claimed they were not Beatles fans and just came to photograph the theater. During the show, I heard them comment that they forgot all about many of these songs that they liked.

A must-see for Beatles fans of all ages. Rain captured their music and mannerisms beautifully. Talented group of guys that were spot on. Fun time!

RAIN is by far, the best tribute band of the Beatles or any other tribute band for any group I have ever seen. The attention to details in the appearance, the attire, the mannerisms were phenomenal, and the 100% live music was perfect. This group takes the audience on an 8 year evolution of the most influential bands of all time by singing every Beatles era from "I Want To Hold Your Hand" through "Abbey Road" . The audience is brought to its collective feet several times during the performance, and I have never seen a more upbeat, happy and smiling audience in my life. This performance featured the "Sgt. Pepper's" album celebrating its 50th anniversary, and they sang the entire album. I cannot recommend this show any higher. 10 STARS!!!!

Show is amazing every time!!! I highly recommend to anyone who's a Beatles fan!

The boys were very good with wonderful vocal harmonies and precision duplication of the sound I grew up with. But there is a downside to the performance. Don't know if it was the theater or the boys that decided to blind the audience after each song by shining a battery of million watt spotlights on the audience to see if they were applauding. Another annoying thing was the very distracting, stage-wide screen behind them that featured a continuous stream of videos, including animations. Don't know if it's insecurity or narcissism. Either way, relying on videos or lighting diminished the experience. There were the three behemoths in front of me that kept recording the entire performance despite a theater ban on this activity. At one point, they were warned by an usher, but upon her leaving, continued. They talked continually bending their heads towards each other further blocking my view. Should be a way to screen out individuals like these.

This was a great show! Close your eyes and you think the real Beatles are on stage! I felt like a teenager the entire time of the show. Went home and played more of their music on my Pandora!!

2nd time seeing them, just as good as the first! Definitely recommend seeing.

I waivered back and forth on whether not to see this production but I am glad I went. The music was great and the staging was amazing. I was young when the Beatles broke up, but their music is timeless. I have been listening to the Beatles music all day on You Tube since seeing the show.

If you love The Beatles and the 60's, you'll love RAIN! A step back to when Beatlemania all began. The musicians clinched each Beatle and their individuality. Loved the 60's pop art screens along with excerpts from different concerts such as Shea stadium. A chance to get happy and sing along with all those songs we know every single note and word. The change of outfits for the different albums were perfect.

Rain was amazing. The cast was phenomenal and made sure the audience was entertained throughout. I would highly recommend this show!

Rain sounded just like the Beatles! Amazing!!! The performance and atmosphere was out of this world! By the end of the performance no one was sitting down!

What an awesome performance ! Evening full of great songs and wonderful memories!

I have no complaints about the music in "Rain,"-- everything sounded great. But the execution of the show was not my bag. Some audience members enjoy it when performers exhort them to stand up and clap and dance but that is not me (plus, the whole element of the cast pretending to be the Beatles yet frequently breaking the 4th wall was odd to me.) The video work also truly irked me. The audience camera was cheesy--like being at a baseball game, and the literalness of the videos was quite uncreative. There were diamonds for "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," parking meters for "Lovely Rita" and then actors portraying Desmond and Molly working at the marketplace for "Ob-La-Di." I also happened notice that every single actor/stock image used in the video work was white, which made me cringe as we were sitting behind some people of color and I couldn't help but wonder what they thought of it. If I could, I would have left during intermission.

A tour through the early songs from the band then onto the 2nd act which starts the Sgt. Pepper album and finishes with a few popular Abbey Road songs. Paul (who also is named Paul for the actual Paul McCartney he is imitating!!) was by far the standout performer, engaging, talented and enthusiastic. He stole the show for me. The drummer, I hate to say, looked like he didn't want to be there (maybe that's how Ringo performed). John was talented, however, he looked a little too old for the part and also a bit weary. Maybe because Paul was so into it, the others appears to phone it in. It must be hard finding look-a like performers that can cover this band. George was pretty close to George and actually probably a better singer. The musicians were outstanding and the voices great. The production value of the show was a bit sparse and really could have been done much better, also the wigs need a little work. But it really all comes down to the music which was a very, very good imitation of the original. Ended with an encore of Hey Jude.

These guys were amazing. I could close my eyes and feel like i was listening to the actual Beatles Live. I could see this again and again. Transported back in time. What a lovely day and even my 23 year old daughter enjoyed it thoroughly.

Rain was an amazing way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Chicago! Just like in 1965, Paul is still my favorite but all of the group were spot on with their portrayal!

Excellent. Played songs note for note. It was like seeing the Beatles live. Still can't believe these four guys got together. Where did they find four musicians that sound and play exactly like the originals. Unbelievable!

This is the 3rd time I have seen this group and never disappointed! If you want to go back in time to recreate that Beatles feeling this is the group to see

I felt like I was at a Beatles concert!! The mixture of music and clips from the 60's were fun and entertaining.

RAIN is a fantastic trip down memory lane. The costuming was authentic and the video montages were a great backdrop and in the style of period. I never saw the Beatles live and yet, I left this show with the experience of what that would have been like.

Great show for Beatles fans, even those that only knows the music. The performers did a great job playing the part and engaged with the audience! So awesome!!

From the first note this show was amazing! Talented musicians brought us seamlessly through the Beatles many years of hits!

From the first note of She Loves You to the very end, the audience was transported back in time when the music seemed less complicated (although it wasn't) and life was full of love. Each song was done with precision and nothing was compromised. It was an excellent show and a must for every Beatles fan.

Awesome selection of songs to represent each phase of the Beatles career.

Pretty tragic. Why not just play the music and lip sync? The band couldn't even get themselves excited , let alone the audience. I felt duped. Graphics were traffic and ever so literal. Lucy in the sky with diamonds doesn't mean your friends unpaid sister filmed for free with diamonds screws savers. Vary tragic.

The 'lads' did an excellent job singing and engaging the crowd. They sounded authentic and the news clips and audio/video were very commemorative. Entertaining all around and well-done!

These guys absolutely killed it! Note for note, they sounded like the real deal, including all the complex nuances. As close as we'll ever get to seeing the Beatles perform live. I include their keyboard player with this - he was as essential as the 4 members of Rain who were front and center. Well done, Rain, you guys nailed it all the way and then some.

Rain was a really incredible experience. The musicians are really good and did a wonderful job of recreating the Beatles sound. The presentation was great as well. They even emulated the speech of the Beatle they portrayed. It was also nice how their appearance changed to coincide with the change in the Beatles appearance over the course of time. I loved the video clips and TV commercials from the 60's. A really humorous blast from the past.

An amazing show covering the years of the Beatles. Sgt Peppers was covered very well and a fun time!

We really enjoyed this show. Rain clearly put a tremendous amount of time and energy into becoming the Beatles. We especially loved the earlier songs.

Totally back in time!! Re-lived the era with Rain!

Outstanding music but performance was disappointing.

Rain brought back many memories and it was fun to sing along. I loved it!

An amazing walk through time. The costumes, instruments, playing styles matched the time perfectly. You watched the Beatles music evolve. Rain was great with tremendous audience engagement. A real fun night.

I've long been a fan of the Beatles and even though I had an opportunity to see them in Chicago back in the 60;s I let that opportunity slip by...But luckily I never let an opportunity to see Rain slip by. Rain performs songs that I've never heard other Beatle cover bands perform. Not only is their sound spot on, but their performance in terms of banter, mannerisms and looks is perfect. I imagine that watching Rain is what it would have been like had I gone to see the Beatles back in 64....except with one difference. I actually can hear the music. So while I miss John and George, Rain brings them back along with Ringo and Paul. They also help me remember why the Beatles will always be my favorite band. For that 2 hour plus experience with Rain, I'm young again.

They are great and I never miss them when they are in the Chicago area!!

A Fantastic Awesome Show it brought me memories from the mid 60's and 70's. Enjoyed all the way.

First of all, let me say that the musicians were AWESOME. I felt like I was really watching the Beatles - theses guys are top-notch. They get SIX stars!! My problem was that the ushers limited my ability to enjoy a concert-like experience. People tried to dance in the aisles - they were shooed back into their seats. The woman next to me tried to use a flashlight during one of the encore performance, she was tapped on her shoulder to turn it off. "No lights in the theatre allowed" the usher told her. A woman who had a little too much to drink spent her entire time with her hands in the air and was surprised that she wasn't kicked out with the number of times she was spoken to. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I thought that this was supposed to be enjoyed like a regular concert, but I was too afraid to show it. I only give the three stars because whoever the promoters are picked the wrong place to have this. Next time, consider the Paramount, where they are much more focused on ensuring that the audience has a great time. Unless it's for classic theatre, do not go to shows at this place.

The vocals are amazing. The attention to detail was quite a treat.

It was a great show! My son loves Beatles music we had 3 generations there. They are really fantastic and play everything. Also great getting the audience involved making it really fun with sing a longs. We highly recommend for any Beatles fans!!!

Great show...would love to see again! when it returns to Chicago

I never had the benefit of seeing the Beatles in person (as the Beatles) but these guys sure gave me the feeling! Was a great venue (Chicago Theater) and the show was great!

My youngest daughters are Beatle fans like me and we all enjoyed the show very much. Glad to hear their music carried on!

It was the third time seeing them. This show gets better and better every time. What a wonderful performance and my Family and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rain: A Tribute To the Beatles was a wonderful performance, but my friend and I did NOT enjoy it because the sound was horribly loud and actually distorted. Let me be clear ... the performers were wonderful and I really believe my huge disappointment is with the theater, or the sound people. I had seen Jersey Boys at this same theater and almost identical seating a couple of years ago and the sound was perfect. In fact, I went twice! That was certainly NOT the case for RAIN's performance. It was so bad, that the couple sitting next to us actually left as soon as intermission came. They couldn't take it either. My friend asked to change her seat to the very back row because she couldn't take it. The music was so loud and distorted that it overpowered the voices. Now do you remember The Beatles sounding like that on the Ed Sullivan Show? I don't. I actually covered my ears. Loud is one thing ... distortion and ear piercing is another. This was such a dissapointment as it is not often that I can afford a trip into Chicago and the theater. When I do go, it is something very special to me and I pay for main floor Orchestra seating. I thought I had chosen well. Just left of center (on the end) about 10 rows back (not too close). I was so excited to have been able to get these seats ... as they are always what I attempt to obtain for other plays. As I said, Jersey Boys was perfect. So was Wicked (another theater, but similiar seating). If I could complain to someone I would, but what good would that do me now? ... so I vent here. I don't know why it was so bad for Sunday's matinee. It simply ruined it for me, my friend, and obviously other people. No one I saw appeared to be happy and upbeat as we left the theater. I will not place blame on the performers, but something went terribly wrong Sunday, May 24th, at 2:00pm at the Bank of America Theater!

Absolutely great show! It really is the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!! If you are a Beatles fan, its definitely a must-see!

I absolutely loved Rain!! The music was fantastic and we couldn't help singing along!! In fact, singing alone was encouraged at various points! The costumes were phenomenal!! It was like seeing, The Beatles, several times throughout their careers! Loved it!! Just wish it was here longer so I could take my mom and grandson!

It was awesome!!!! I would go and see it again. I really enjoyed it.

This was one of the best show's that i have seen . are seat's were great the people around us were all having a fun time. the band and the stage set up's were great. will being seeing more show's and picking are seats from ticketmaster, Rain was just amazing a great night out on the town, fun fun

Anyone of a certain age, growing up or coming of age with the Beatles music will enjoy Rain. It's a wonderful tribute to the Fab Four complete with costumes and vintage videos from back in the day. If you're not on your feet clapping and singing along it would be surprising.

My husband and I attended Rain in Chicago.!the band is spot on. Incredibly talented group of guys who are not only great singers but excellent musicians. They have it down pat. Every song takes you back and you just think they ARE the Beatlea. Reliving that era was so fun!! For anyone who loves the Beatles it's well worth it

This show was incredible even if you are just a passing Beatles fan. The choreography was perfect. Every move was timed perfectly with the footage of the real Beatles on the backdrop screen. All the way down to insignificant head movements. Honestly, you thought you were watching and hearing the real thing. Absolutely could not have been better.

We saw the May 21 show at Bank of America Theater from the balcony and were very impressed with the view and the acoustics from there! However, we a bit disappointed with the mix of songs and would have liked to hear a bigger set from the earliest years. I thought it was too top-heavy on the psychedelic years. That is our only negative take-away. Otherwise, would highly recommend; a full 2 hours of pure entertainment for those who miss the Beatles.

awesome and I could sing along to almost all of the songs

We had no idea what to expect from this show and we were blown away! It was like being transported back in time! Rain was fantastic! The music was spot on!

Anyone who likes the Beatles will really appreciate and totally enjoy this group. They are amazing!!
