This week, catch some Beatlemania in Redwood City, hear humorist Firoozeh Dumas read at Stanford, celebrate all things Irish in Mountain View and more.

Concert

'In My Life: A Musical Theatre Tribute to The Beatles'

Once so wildly popular that a new term was coined to describe the frenzied fans at their concerts, The Beatles' time has come and gone. Or has it?

On Friday, May 15, at 8 p.m., John, Paul, George and Ringo will take the stage at Redwood City's Fox Theatre (2215 Broadway St.) for a night of classic hits from "Twist and Shout" through "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" all the way to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Of course, it's not really them, but Beatles tribute band Abbey Road has earned a reputation for their realistic and historically accurate concerts, down to the costumes and instruments. And it's more than just music; Beatles manager Brian Epstein narrates the show, helping audiences relive the band's legacy, from its breakthrough Ed Sullivan Show performance of 1964 to its psychedelic years. Fifty years after the Liverpool foursome took the world by storm, it's not too late to catch yourself a little Beatlemania. Tickets are $35-$55. Go to foxrwc.com or call 650-FOX-7770.
