A bold jazz-cabaret reimagining of the Lennon–McCartney songbook
What happens when a 19-year-old artist takes on one of the most iconic catalogues in music history?
You don’t get a tribute show. You get a reinvention.
Beating Up The Beatles is a striking, jazz-infused cabaret from South Australian award-winning artist Charlee Watt, reimagining the songs of Lennon and McCartney through bold new arrangements, storytelling, and unapologetic musical curiosity.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Carmen McRae and Dionne Warwick, Charlee steps into a lineage of artists who reinterpret rather than imitate.
