Foxwoods is bringing the lads of Liverpool to Connecticut with a
one-of-a-kind exhibition filled with rare artifacts and photographs.
“The
Magical History Tour: A Beatles Memorabilia Exhibition” opens today in
the casino’s Sunset Ballroom and runs through Feb. 5, offering the
opportunity to retrace the steps of the legendary band.
The exhibition consists of four sections: Beginnings, Influences and
Life in Liverpool; Life on the Road; Innovation in the Studio; and The
Decade of the Break-up.
The
first gallery begins with the influence of American music on John
Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr when they are
just kids. Visitors will see the original drum set of the Quarry Men,
hear music from the 1950s and early 1960s, and step into the most
accurate reproduction of the Cavern Club in existence.

Life on the road
The
second gallery is all about the Beatles touring as a professional music
group and the commercialism associated with being a big name in pop
music. See rare photographs of the Beatles’ tour from 1964 to 1966, many
on display for the first time, alongside a plethora of memorabilia from
that time period.
In the studio
Through a
1960s sound studio interactive and fully immersive audio experience,
visitors will become familiar with the Beatles’ innovative work in the
studio and how their producer, George Martin, supported this direction.
Decade of break-up
The final gallery will
include dozens of artifacts from the Beatles’ individual projects after
the group dissolved in 1970, including Lennon’s juke box, the legal
document dissolving the Beatles as an entity (a.k.a. “The Break-up
Letter”), clothing, personal items used in concert and the album signed
by Lennon for his eventual assassin.
