"We have delayed the opening of Lennon to allow Don Scardino and our creative team the opportunity to make adjustments to the show," said producer Allan McKeown. "We've moved the opening to the following week in order to make fundamental changes to the opening and closing scenes of the show, including adding an additional song from the John Lennon catalogue.”

The musical will now open on August 14th at The Broadhurst Theater. All preview performances will continue as scheduled, but the originaal scheduled August 4th opening night performance will be cancelled.

Lennon is Billed as "A musical biography, a concert, and a celebration all in one." It will take audiences "on a magical, mythical journey behind the greatest rock legacy and the boldest love story of our time — with words, images and some of the best pop songs ever written. From the Beatles to the Bed-Ins, from his musical partnership with Paul to his life partnership with Yoko, Lennon will bring you back to a time when music could change your soul... and one musician could change the world."
 
Starring as John Lennon are Will Chase, Chuck Cooper, Julie Danao-Salkin, Mandy Gonzalez, Marcy Harriell, Chad Kimball, Terrence Mann, Julia Murney, and Michael Potts.

The musical is written and directed by Don Scardino and features costume design by Jane Greenwood, lighting design by Natasha Katz, and choreography by Joseph Malone.
