Fab Four Revives Beatles Era at Chris Evert/Raymond James Tennis Classic Gala
BOCA RATON– John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr won’t be performing at the 23rd annual Chris Evert/Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic’s Annual Gala. But the audience might “Imagine” they are.
The Fab Four – The Ultimate Beatles Tribute — will be the headliners at the charity’s Annual Gala at the Boca Raton Resort and Club on Saturday, Oct. 27. It begins at 7:30 pm following a cocktail hour.
The Fab Four will take the audience on a nostalgic journey through the famous quartet’s life. The show is divided into three segments starting with the mop-top’s 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, moving on to a psychedelic Sgt. Pepper set in the album cover’s military uniforms and then morphing into a hippie-era Let It Be finale.
