The show, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles touring Australia.
Chris Frazer, who takes on the John Lennon poersona in the show, said the tour had extra interest because of the anniversary.
The group is also performing at many of the venues that were part of the The Beatle’s 1964 Australian tour including Dunedin Town Hall and Melbourn’es Festival Hall.
“It feels like everything we’ve done has built up to this,” he said.
“This year has been out of this world. It’s difficult to describe,” Frazer said.
“We are standing in their footholes at the same venues they played at in 1964.”
The Fabulous Beatle Boysare also playing the original set list from the 1964 tour.
It begins with I Saw Her Standing and finishes with a Paul McCartney cover of Long Tall Sally.
Frazer said the amount have people that have told the group they saw The Beatles in 1964 was incredible.
“We have met many people who were there at the concerts and thanked us finally being able to hear the show,” he said.
“A lot more people have discovered us and gone on the journey. We were hoping it would be like that because totherwise there’s no point of a 50th anniversary event.”
Frazer has been doing JOhn Lennon since 2007.
The Fabulous Beatle Boys formed in 2010.
“We all had our own very long affections and enjoy walking in (The Beatles’) shoes,” Frazer said.
“We each had our own story and bought them together in 2010.”
Frazer said no band will ever lead a musical change like The Beatles did.
“It would take a complete revolution in thought and politics,” he said. “The world would have to utterly change again for a band to ride a wave of change like they did.
