If you’re after an intimate performance that takes you as close as you can get to a night with Lennon and McCartney, then tickets to Two of Us at Liverpool’s Royal Court theatre are essential.
Written and directed by Bob Eaton, the master behind the ‘Lennon’ musical at the Everyman back in the 80s, the show credits old leading star Mark McGann as a co-writer. Two of Us stars Mark Newnham as John Lennon, Tom Connor as Paul McCartney, and four incredible musicians in the band that really are the cherry on top.
Mike Woodvine (guitar), Greg Joy (drums), Adam Keast (bass) and Ben Gladwin (keys) all deserve a special shoutout for their impeccable musical talent and upbeat stage presence. Tom Connor’s McCartney mannerisms were nothing short of perfect, with an impressive display of infectious head bobbing, hair flicks and all.
