Iconic moments The Beatles recorded at the Abbey Road Studios comes to Nottingham
It might look like a typical Georgian townhouse, but the Abbey Road Studios have been a hive of creativity and source of world-class recording for more than 80 years.
Thousands of music fans from far and wide visit the street each year to walk across the iconic zebra crossing outside the recording studio and sign their name on the road sign, which is repainted every three months.
The Beatles, who made their first demo at the studio in June 1962, are possibly the most famous band to have used the building.
And now scores of devotees from across the country will be able to have a fly-on-the-wall intimate experience of the magic that happened behind closed doors during the rock band's recording sessions.
A live re-staging of the moments songs such as Please Please Me, Help! and Yellow Submarine were created will make its way to the Capital FM Arena as part of a 12-date tour on May 4, 2016.
The access-all-areas musical documentary will be set in a state-of-the-art reproduction of the iconic building's Studio 2 and will feature live renditions of the timeless albums recorded there by The Beatles.
No fewer than 45 people will take to the stage, which is set in the round, to ensure the experience is as sonically authentic to the original recordings as possible. The seven vocalists will comprise two Johns, two Pauls, two Georges and one Ringo to recreate the album's vocal harmonies. They will be joined by a further seven musicians and a 21-piece orchestra.
