The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Classical Mystery Tour has added a special Sgt. Pepper's section to their concert, featuring the title track plus such iconic songs as “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "When I'm 64," and "A Day in the Life."

"We really make an effort to sound exactly like the originals," explains Jim Owen, the founder of Classical Mystery Tour who also portrays John Lennon in the show. "The orchestra score is exact, right down to every note and instrument that was on the original recording. On 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' we have two tenor saxes and three trumpets. That's what it was written for, and that's what we use. And on 'A Day in the Life,' that final big orchestra crescendo sounds amazing when it’s played live."

ABOUT CLASSICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Since its initial show at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in 1996, Classical Mystery Tour has performed with more than 100 orchestras across the United States and around the world, receiving accolades from fans and the media. The Los Angeles Times called the show "more than just an incredible simulation...the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave the live performance a high goose-bump quotient...the crowd stood and bellowed for more."
