"Lennon," you should know, is a biographical musical that almost completely avoids the Beatles. There is no mention of the group, and scant reference to its other members.
A heavyset black actor plays Paul McCartney. Ringo Starr and George Harrison are mere blips in the script.
The show boasts not one actual Beatles song, with the exception of "The Ballad of John and Yoko," which was written and recorded by Lennon and McCartney together. (That point is not made, however, because McCartney is meritless in Yoko's universe.)
Otherwise, no "In My Life," "Come Together," "Help!," "A Day in the Life," "I Feel Fine," or any of the other Lennon standards from the Beatles catalog.
At one point the opening guitar chord from "A Hard Day's Night" is heard, and then dropped.
Indeed, from Lennon's solo repertoire, "Jealous Guy," "No. 9 Dream" and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" are noticeably absent as well.
That's because Ono, no matter how much you may think she's either a widow still in pain or a genius performance artist, has made "Lennon" all about her.

i heard Howard Stern interview Macca a few days ago and he asked about this play and Yoko. Macca was very polite about Yoko and SStern pushed him hard to say something about her being a nut. Macca gave the impression that she is really out there without actually saying it. the impression he gave was that he has to deal with her often in a business sense and legally and business-wise he couldn't say anything...but still implied he agreed with all those suggestions. "Very diplomatic" as Mick would say.
