Week of Aug. 8, 1977
"Beatlemania" draws sellout crowds on Broadway. Four dead ringers for the Liverpool lads perform Beatles tunes with scenes of the 60s projected on a background screen and a warning before the show not to smoke... anything. The young crowds sing along, unfazed by the illusion, happy to just let it be.
