Free Screening: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

What do you get when you cross a variety show with a rock opera? Loosely tying together The Beatles’ seminal 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with a heaping helping of Abbey Road, thiscult favorite features the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton as the Fab Four and George Burns as the narrator. Don’t miss the cavalcade of cameos including Steve Martin, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, Alice Cooper, and Billy Preston nor the film’s finale that re-creates the iconic album cover in a sing-along extravaganza.
