Following their sensational 16-week season in New York, Lennon: Through a Glass Onion is back in Australia. And the internationally acclaimed theatrical event celebrating the genius, music and phenomenon of John Lennon is coming to the Orange Civic Theatre on 8 February!

Created and performed by renowned Australian actor and musician John Waters and esteemed singer/pianist Stewart D’Arrietta, Lennon: Through a Glass Onion, is part concert and part biography, revealing the essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the most admired icons of the past century.

The performance features 31 songs including “Imagine,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Revolution,” “Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds,” “All You Need is Love,” “Come Together,” “Help,” “Working Class Hero,” “Mother,” “Jealous Guy,” and more.

For the audience the show is either an emotional trip down memory lane or a wonderful introduction to the life and times of one of the most fascinating icons of our time.

Waters and D’Arrietta first conceived and performed Lennon: Through a Glass Onion on a small stage at the Tilbury Hotel, Sydney in 1992— twelve years after Lennon’s death. The show was an instant success and in the years that followed, Waters and D’Arrietta have toured and played sold out engagements at venues including The Sydney Opera House and a three-month engagement in London’s West End.

“It’s been fantastic the response the show is receiving, especially from the younger audiences that are coming along, some of whom were not even born when Lennon and The Beatles were recording and releasing their music. It’s a testament to the legacy of the man and his music that still excites and intrigues people to this day,” said Waters.

“It never ceases to amaze us how many people still request to see the show, even after our last lengthy tour, we’re constantly getting emails and messages asking when is the show coming back, so it’s great that the demand and interest is always there,” said Waters.

But premiering the show in New York last year and the response from American audiences was overwhelming, said Waters.

“It truly felt as though Glass Onion had in fact given the city what it needed, to reconcile their own sense of loss of a much loved ‘son’, as John Lennon came to be. Night after night, our audiences stood to acknowledge us, and it doesn't get much better than that,” he said.

In late 2020, Lennon Through A Glass Onion will be touring through the United States with Symphony Orchestras, commencing with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.
