The musical touches on the fab four's first appearance in North America on the Ed Sullivan Show and follows their meteoric rise to iconic status in music history.
"February 1964 was their first appearance, and we know what happened after that; it just launched the phenomenon of Beatlemania. Sixty years later, the popularity of the Beatles is still strong. We know that fans of all ages are into the Beatles, and the music is timeless," said Jessica Klug with the cultural centre.
'Becoming the Beatles,' starring Haley Marie, is at the Midland Cultural Centre on February 23.
