  • Celebration of the iconic late Beatle’s life and music set to be performed at 26 venues nationwide.

  • TV and stage star, Daniel Taylor, fronts new biopic theatre show.

The life and work of legendary Liverpudlian musician and peace campaigner, John Lennon, is being celebrated in a new live stage show which embarks on a major UK tour this month.


Something About Lennon – The John Lennon Story comes from the same team behind the acclaimed shows 'Something About George', which salutes the talent of the late George Harrison, and 'Something About Simon' which showcases the music of singer-songwriting genius, Paul Simon.


The show is set to open its inaugural tour at Wrexham’s William Aston Hall on Monday the 19th of May and will then go on to play at 25 locations across the country including Dundee, Southport, Birmingham, Hull, Hexham, Blackpool, Coventry, Peterborough, Swindon and Wakefield.


The tour ends at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre on Sunday the 6th of July 2025.

West End performer and musician Daniel Taylor fronts the production’s band of five and tells the fascinating story of Lennon along with performing his best-known, best-loved hits. The band are Joe Smithson (MD, Guitar and Vocals), Callum Macmillan (Percussion/Drums), Jesse Eigen (Bass Guitar and Vocals) and James Breckon (Keyboard and Vocals).


Weaving together songs and stories, 'Something About Lennon' is not a tribute show as we know it, but rather one musician authentically telling the tale and honouring the music of another in a story that will reveal a life that wasn’t always filled with peace and love.


A tale of controversy, genius, politics and protest, Something About Lennon charts John’s life from the breakup of the Beatles at the end of the 1960s to his shocking murder in New York in December 1980 and features an irresistible soundtrack of incredible songs including Woman, Instant Karma and Imagine – although of course the story wouldn’t be complete without a few of those Fab Four classics along the way too.


Something About Lennon is brought to audiences by producers Bill Elms, Jon Fellowes and Gary Edward Jones of Something About Productions. The Beatles Story is on board as a production partner.

Daniel Taylor trained at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London and is an actor, producer, and director. He has previously played John Lennon in the award-winning Lennon Through a Glass Onion and is also known from his many years in Blood Brothers, along with The Very Best of Tommy Cooper, Twopence to Cross The Mersey and most recently in By The Waters Of Liverpool. He also played Peter Quince in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in New York’s Central Park.


Actor & singer, Daniel Taylor, who is set to play John Lennon in the theatrical biopic, said: “It’s lovely as a performer and actor to have people put so much trust in you to tell such an incredible story, and to celebrate someone as unique and timeless as John Lennon.”


He added: “And of course there are all those brilliant songs which have formed the soundtrack to so many people’s lives, and which will be performed live with a brilliant band of musicians.”


Daniel, said: “I’m very proud of what we’ve created, and I can’t wait to get out there on tour now and share Lennon’s story with audiences right across the UK.”

Co-Producer of 'Something About Lennon', Bill Elms, said: “The response since we announced Something About Lennon has been incredible.”


Bill added: “The production explores Lennon’s life and work in the 1970s, a time of seismic change for him but also an incredibly creative period which was cut cruelly and tragically short on a December evening in New York City.”


He said: “The word icon can sometimes be overused, but if anyone deserves the title, it’s John Lennon. Daniel Taylor and the rest of the band have been working hard in the rehearsal room to create a fitting celebration of an extraordinary man’s life and music, and I know audiences are going to absolutely love it.”
