Lennon: Through a Glass Onion is returning to Wagga and co-creator John Waters promises a show not to be forgotten. 

“It’s about John Lennon as a man and I tried to personalise it, tried to imagine it's his thoughts,” he said. 

“It begins as he lays dying on the sidewalk in New York City.

“It starts with five gunshots, then I appear in a spotlight with thoughts running through my head. 

In 1992, twelve years after Lennon’s death, John Waters and Stewart D’Arrietta first conceived and performed Lennon: Through a Glass Onion on a small stage at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney.

In the years that followed, Mr Waters and Mr D’Arrietta toured the show and played sold out engagements at venues including The Sydney Opera House.

They have recently returned from a 16 week season in New York, Mr Waters said. 

“It’s been fantastic the response the show is receiving, especially from the younger audiences that are coming along, some of whom were not even born when Lennon and The Beatles were recording and releasing their music,” he said. 

"It’s a testament to the legacy of the man and his music that still excites and intrigues people to this day. 

“It never ceases to amaze us how many people still request to see the show, even after our last lengthy tour, we’re constantly getting emails and messages asking when is the show coming back, so it’s great that the demand and interest is always there.” 

Mr Waters said the show has evolved organically and he refuses to let the pressure of Lennon’s fame to phase him. 

“I could feel daunted, but I choose not so I can be confident,” he said. 

“These are my thoughts about John Lennon.” 

The show will be held in the Wagga Civic Theatre on October 5. For more information click here.
