Fab Four return to Sydney

Fab Four return to Sydney
By admin


Sydney has welcomed George, John, Paul and Ringo back to Australia, 50 years after their first visit.

To celebrate their arrival, The Beatles ‘walked’ in line across a pedestrian crossing in front of Sydney’s Opera House to re-enact the iconic Abbey Road album cover.  

The fab four have just landed from Tokyo and will be part of an interactive exhibit at Madame Tussauds in Darling Harbour. The visit will be for a limited time only however, as the group will jet off to San Francisco for the last leg of their tour in September. 

The exhibit features the band in their late 1960s-era styling and allows fans to stand in line with them to create their very own personalised album cover. 

“Just like their whirlwind tour five decades ago, these four iconic wax figures will only be on show at Madame Tussauds Sydney for a limited time. Not only can guests interact with the famous four, but can also recreate a moment of Beatles history in their very own Abbey Road album cover,” Madame Tussauds Sydney general manager Quinn Clarke said.

Madame Tussauds first held sittings with The Beatles in 1964, and were the first ever rock band to be featured at the legendary waxworks.

For the new touring figures, the Madame Tussauds studio team have used a combination of the sitting measurements and additional image research including a number of image references from the 1969 Abbey Road photo shoot. The style of the figures is based on their styling around the time, not long before the band's dissolution in 1970.
