Step into an unforgettable experience where your memories come alive through the timeless music of the Beatles.
Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience is a unique experience that puts the audience in control.
Performed by brothers Billy, Matthew and Ryan McGuigan and their band, the show relies on the audience to choose the entire setlist. Before the show, audience members are asked to fill out a request card with their name, favorite Beatles song, and the reason why they chose that song. Minutes before the show starts, these cards are collected and a custom setlist is created based on the audience’s requests.
Throughout the night, the band weaves the audiences personal stories, and the McGuigans’ own heartfelt memories attached to the Beatles’ music, into the performance, creating a one-of-a-kind narrative that makes every show different.
Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience is an engaging, interactive celebration where your audiences memories, the McGuigan brothers’ passion, and the timeless songs of the Beatles come together in an unforgettable way.
“Foot-stomping, clapping in unison, singing along and outright screaming from the audience”

ABOUT THE MCGUIGAN BROTHERS
Billy, Ryan and Matthew McGuigan were just 21, 18 and 15 years old in 1996 when their father, William (Bill) McGuigan, passed away, after a difficult, but courageous battles with Leukemia.
Bill owned every Beatles album there was…even the obscure ones. However, as a family, the McGuigans were quite poor. So, rather than going out to entertain the young ones, Bill stayed home with them and shared his love of the Beatles catalogue with his boys. Little did any of them know, it would turn out to be one of the greatest gifts a father could pass on to his children.
Billy, Matthew and Ryan united their musical talents, charms and passion for performing to create the ultimate living tribute to the greatest man they’ve ever known. Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience was born out of the idea that everyone, like themselves, has a story or particular memory attached to the legendary music of The Beatles.
What the McGuigan boys have overwhelmingly found, since debuting the show in 2007, is that not only do people have a story to tell, but they are absolutely ready and willing to tell that story when being able to tie it to their favorite Beatles song. On some level, it goes beyond sheer entertainment, and perhaps becomes a hint of music therapy.
Every night the songs change, the faces change and the stories change. But one element always remains the same between the McGuigans and their fans. A mutual respect for why they are there. Whether it’s for the sheer love of the music, or to have a personal connection with it, either way, the McGuigan boys get to do what they love most – honoring the memory of their greatest hero, and the priceless gift he gave them so many years ago.
