Standing ovation at Madinat Jumeirah



If you didn't get the chance to see Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four when they played at Dubai's Souk Madinat Jumeirah earlier this month – then you missed a spectacular performance. A sight seldom seen inside regional theatre houses, the act's energy and charisma combined with the stunning musical back catalogue of the 1960s group and was more than enough to bring the sell-out crowd to its feet night after night.The coming weeks promise more theatrical treats from Jumeirah, as morning and matinee performances of the fairytale Pinocchio will run from September 19-22, with tickets priced at Dh140.

Whereas October heralds the arrival of Kalubela, a singing, dancing, aerial-acrobatic extravaganza, staged in association with The Fridge. Get your tickets early to avoid disappointment as the show, which features songs from bygone greats such as Eartha Kitt and Etta James, is sure to sell out fast. Performances will run from October 3-6 at 19:00 and on October 4 & 5 at 20:00, with tickets costing Dh195.
