About the show
As You Like It — BMO Mainstage
This joyful tribute to love, laughter, and music features two-dozen classic Beatles songs, from “I Want to Hold Your Hand” to “Here Comes the Sun,” performed live on stage. The original Bard production played to sold-out houses in 2018 and has triumphed across North America since then.
This event is part of alumni UBC‘s Summer Series.
