Lennon: Through a Glass Onion

By |2015-02-22T13:06:32-08:00February 22, 2015|Beatle-inspired, New York City|

In a rather shocking display of feckless self-absorption, I just discovered in my inbox a months-old email touting the musical performance Lennon: Through a Glass Onion. Musicians John R. Waters and Stewart D'Arietta are performing a slate of Lennon's work -- written both with and without his Beatles -- at the Union Square Theatre, on 100 East 17th Street.
