More ‘Rain’ the merrier for Victoria Theatre
The Victoria Theatre Association isn’t concerned that a PBS broadcast of “Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles” will steal any thunder from its Dec. 10-21 live presentation of the same show in the Chase Broadway Series. Dayton’s ThinkTV Channel 16 will air the show again at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6.
In fact, Victoria e-marketing and public relations director Eric Brockman is confident the television exposure will be good for box office business.
“There are perhaps some people who might say, ‘Saw it on TV, not going to see it live.’ But for the most part, we’ve found that videos and TV specials like this generate interest and make people want to see the show live. ‘Rain’ has been successfully doing this in other markets,” Brockman said.
A few years ago, a broadcast of “Three Mo’ Tenors” did “a great job of getting everyone excited about the show and buying tickets,” he said. “Also, the ‘Rain’ special is more of a ‘Best of Rain live’ than the complete show.”
“Rain” follows the Beatles from their beginnings to the psychedelic late 1960s and combines live performance and video with historical footage and television commercials from the era. Victoria season tickets are now on sale. Single seats will be available beginning Aug. 22 at (937) 228-3630.
