The Beatles? Or the Rolling Stones? And before you say both are good – no, you have to pick one side in this “most legendary rivalry in rock history,” according to a musical-theater production landing in the South Bay.
“Beatles vs. Stones – A Musical Showdown,” running for one night at the Campbell Heritage Theatre, pits two tribute acts against each other in a battle of tunes, banter and jovial one-upmanship. It’s the traveling show’s latest stop in a 125-city North American tour, in a production that’s been amusing classic and pop-rock fans since 2011.
On the one side is “Abbey Road,” a band representing our funny-haired gents from across the pond who like singing about diamonds in the sky and walruses. On the other is “Jumping Jack Flash,” mimicking the high-energy antics of the British Invasion’s bad boys. Expect lots of period costumes and gear, all your favorite songs and an encore that reportedly brings down the house. Remember to bring earplugs, if you don’t like the volume turned up to 11.
Details: Show starts 7:30 p.m. July 26 at the Campbell Heritage Theatre, 1 West Campbell Ave., Campbell; tickets $45-$65 plus fees, heritagetheatre.showare.com
