A powerful stage production by Mike Howl will tell the story of Cynthia Lennon in Liverpool this spring.
The musical called This Girl will be performed at the Capstone Theatre on 29th and 30th May and will feature original songs including ‘Mother Mary’ by Julian Lennon.
The story of John Lennon’s first wife shines the spotlight on the woman who loved, supported and ultimately lost one of the most famous men in the world.
This powerful show has already captivated sell-out audiences in Liverpool and London previously and has been described as a moving celebration of a remarkable woman whose story has too often been overshadowed.
Cynthia was a student from Hoylake who fell in love with a young musician called John when they met at Liverpool Art College in 1957. She became Cynthia Lennon, his wife, and mother of their son, Julian.
The play charts the emotional journey of Cynthia’s life before, during and after Beatlemania. It tells the story of a lovely person whose life was full of good and bad times, but also one peppered with laughter and humour.
