Multi-award winning cabaret artist Charlee Watt, backed by her fab band of multi-instrumentalists, shines fresh light on your favourite Beatles hits . Think Lennon & McCartney — with a deliciously jazzy twist. Even Beatles purists love this show.

Channeling the spirit of jazz legends, Charlee breathes new life into the Beatles' catalogue with funky grooves, smoky ballads, and swinging rhythms that get right under your skin. It's been over 60 years since Beatlemania hit Australia — and now it's time to fall in love all over again, in a whole new way.

"Charlee Watt entranced me from the get-go, and the arrangements, many of which were co-labs between her and Goodwin, brought a texture to these songs that one suspects would delight the original authors." — Arna Eyers-White, The Barefoot Review
