“HELP”: Who were they before they became The Beatles? The setting is Liverpool, in the late 1950s. All you have is a guitar, a dream and a new sound. With songs performed live on stage, we witness the early collaboration of teens that became the most popular band in the world. We see the struggles of friendship, jealousy, and the insatiable, burning passion for music. “HELP” is about pursuing your dream, discovering the road to success and choosing which path to follow. Shows at various times April 12 through May 13 at Seattle Children’s Theatre, 201 Thomas St.; 206-441-3322; www.sct.org/Index.aspx. Ages 11 and older.
