Fab 6 is a joyfully sprawling musical tribute to the Beatles in their studio years (Sergeant Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Abby Road) with a smattering of hit singles). But perhaps even more, it is a nod to George Martin (producer) and the lush arrangements that became so much a part of the Beatles studio sound.
Fab 6 believes that sound can best be brought to the audience’s ears through the use of the instruments that were originally used in the studio. Once you’ve heard the soaring magic of the piccolo trumpet solo of Penny Lane, the uplifting string quartet accompaniment of Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby, the clarion-call brass introduction of Magical Mystery Tour, you’ll never want to experience it any other way!
Paul Cassady (guitar, vocals); Jerry Gray (keyboards, producer); Gary Rue (guitar, Music Director);
Chad Magnuson (keyboard, reeds); Rusty Jones (bass); Tilly (drums)

What Would Judy Do?
Marjie Shrimpton invites you to forget your troubles and join her for a night inspired by the legendary Grand Rapids native, Judy Garland. Weaving stories and songs from Judy’s life and her own, throughout the evening Marjie will attempt to answer the big question: “What Would Judy Do” (or sing) if she were trying to chase our cares away in 2018? Directed and co-conceived by Michael Pesce, accompanied by Grand Rapids’s own Susan Hoolihan, and featuring local guests.
Marjie premiered What Would Judy Do? in January 2018 to a sold-out audience at The Duplex Cabaret Theatre in New York, NY. She received wide praise, earning a review from Cabaret Scenes Magazine saying, “Marjie Shrimpton stunned in her musical tribute to her hometown hero.” A Grand Rapids and Reif stage veteran herself, Marjie is beyond thrilled to bring this show back to her home theater!
