Lennon: Through a Glass Onion

John Waters and Stewart D'Arrietta’s 'Lennon: Through a Glass Onion' arrived Off-Broadway at the Union Square Theatre in 2014, running for an accomplished commercial residency as a magnificent, deeply moving solo musical-theatrical tour-de-force drama following its hit international runs. Conceived as an intimate, acoustic portrait of rock icon John Lennon, the biographical narrative features a virtuoso performer executing twenty-five note-for-note arrangements of Lennon’s legendary multi-platinum Beatles and solo catalogs, weaving the music with raw monologues detailing his peace activism, childhood trauma, and early passing.
