23-24 APRIL Pepperland Theatre Royal, Nowrich
Five decades of love for one of the world’s most iconic albums is being celebrated this spring with an exciting dance piece inspired by the music of The Beatles.
Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is the musical backbone of Pepperland which comes to Norwich April 23-24.
Performed by the Brooklyn-based Mark Morris Dance Group, it sees the company perform to new arrangements of songs like With A Little Help From My Friends and Penny Lane alongside new pieces inspired by the album’s sound.
Composer Ethan Iverson says it was daunting and he wanted to do it justice. He recalled: “Mark is such a genius that I thought I could do it with him. The album is a favourite record of mine from high school. They made a masterpiece, really. It has that kind of weight and each new generation discovers it with awe.
“It’s important to note that Pepperland isn’t like a Beatles concert and people shouldn’t expect that. Their music is the fundamental backbone of the piece, but the album now is essentially a piece of folk music.”
