It’s the closest thing to seeing The Beatles, all four members, in the flesh and playing their songs, when the West End and Broadway concert-revue act known as “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” happens Oct. 21.
Composed of Chris Mcburney as Ringo Starr, John Brosnan as George Harrison, Neil Candelora as Paul McCartney, and Michael Gagliano as John Lennon, the “Let It Be” band’s performance is part of the launch of The Estate Makati—a high-end condominium project envisioned to be “the crown jewel of Ayala Avenue.”
The Estate Makati—a partnership between SM Development Corp. (SMDC) and Federal Land—is designed by Foster + Partners, an award-winning architecture and engineering firm in London.
The British connection explains why SMDC and Federal Land flew in the “Let It Be” stars, to perform Oct. 21 at an exclusive, by-invitation party for prospective buyers and clients of The Estate Makati.
At the press con, the “Let It Be” stars recalled attending a party where Paul McCartney’s daughter Stella was also present. “We told Stella, ‘You should tell your dad to come and watch us.’”
Stella was quoted as replying, “My dad watches you on his laptop!”
Four million people worldwide are said to have seen the “Let It Be” show.
“People identify with The Beatles because they represent what it is to be a human being,” said Gagliano. “They represent the hopes and dreams of all of us.”
