THE offices where he signed The Beatles and Cilla Black may have been knocked down, but there's something far prettier to remember Brian Epstein by these days.
And to salute what would have been his 76th birthday, the one-time Neptune Theatre – renamed in his honour - is laying on free tea and coffee throughout an open day this Wednesday.
Come and get the tour of the £1m restored theatre in Hanover Street, say management.
Boards showing the history of the theatre and the restoration will be on display and taking in the smell of the greasepaint and the wallpaint, you can experience the brand new refurbished Brian’s Bar which opened last week. Acoustic musicians will perform music from the Merseybeat era from the bands Brian managed.
All singing, all dancing: the refurbished Epstein Theatre
To coincide with the box office opening at the theatre, they are also offering all visitors a £5 discount off tickets for the forthcoming Eppy epic, Epstein – The Man Who Made The Beatles - starring Andrew Lancel, and the Christmas PantomimeCinderella which stars our very own 1980s pop princess Sonia.
General Manager of the Epstein Theatre,Rebekah Pichilingi said: “The Neptune Theatre held so many wonderful memories for both audiences and actors alike. Now re-launched as The Epstein Theatre we are thrilled to open our doors once more. We would like to welcome everybody down to have a look around this gem of a theatre on a very special day for us. This will be the first of our annual events for Brian’s birthday.”
