THE WHITE ALBUM tickets - on sale now 93 XRT presents Tributosaurus Becomes THE BEATLES, VOL 6
The White Album
Performed in its entirety, with faithful re-creations of the original arrangements.
White Album Show Ticket Buying Tip: If you look for seats by choosing "Best Available Section" and you do not like the options, back up and choose the Mezzanine or Sides directly - you may find better seats there!
Our Beatles project, to perform all of their recorded songs from start to finish, has reached the most hallowed double album in rock and roll history. On the heels of our 2 celebrated concerts performing Sgt. Pepper’s and Magical Mystery Tour (in their entirety with a 30 piece orchestra), Tributosaurus attacks the next challenge. Re-creating the sprawling, genre shifting genius of The White Album will be a joyful, meticulous exercise.
The horn sections on “Savoy Truffle” and “Revolution 1.” The bluegrass fiddle on “Don’t Pass Me By.” The vast orchestral swells of “Good Night.” The sound collage on “Revolution 9.” As always, we will somehow bring songs built on studio wizardry to a live performance.
The Beatles began to splinter and break apart during these recordings, often yielding what were essentially solo tracks. Yoko Ono was in the studio for the first time, adding to the tension. Sessions were long, full of disagreements, and arduous; Ringo left for two weeks at one point in frustration. Paul played drums on Dear Prudence in his absence -- but somehow through that discord, 30 songs of wide ranging styles emerged that hold together remarkably well.
The expanse of the Tributosaurus Beatles series requires a special venue, and it returns to the perfect place. The Copernicus Center Theater was the first movie palace in Chicago designed for talking pictures, and it has been restored to its’ original condition and outfitted for live performance. It is incredibly convenient - located just a block from the Kennedy on Lawrence, and 2 blocks from Metra and Blue Line stops at Jefferson Park Terminal. From the starry sky ceiling to the marble clad lobbies, everything about this theater impresses, and the acoustics are fantastic too.
Tickets go on sale Friday April 26th, at 10 AM, on Tributosaurus.com and CopernicusCenter.org, as well as at WXRT.com. Tickets are ONLY available online (no box office sales). The seating is assigned, so you’ll want to get yours ordered as soon as you can to reserve the section you want - and bring your kids to experience this - it is an ALL AGES show.
Tributosaurus Becomes THE BEATLES, VOL 6 -- The White Album at The Copernicus Center Theater 5216 W. Lawrence Ave. - Chicago, IL 60630 Friday, May 24th, 8 PM
