Here Comes The Sun: Beatlemania Hits Madame Tussauds Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Day Sunshine!

The figures of the Fab Four are set in a pose that pays tribute to the 1969 Abbey Road album cover, which captured all four members walking on a zebra crossing outside of Abbey Road Studios. The image is arguably one of the most recognizable in music history.

To recreate these new figures, Madame Tussauds artists utilized measurements taken from previous sittings with the band, as well as image research from the Abbey Road album photo shoot to style each figure. The Beatles have a long history with Madame Tussauds. They were the first rock band to appear in the grand hall at Madame Tussauds London. All four members met with studio artists in 1964 to take measurements for the creation of their original wax figures.

Madame Tussauds artists used a number of image references from the Abbey Road album cover photo shoot, which explain some differences between the original photo and the figures, including the group's line-up and Paul's flip-flops.

Starting July 30, Beatles fans can Come Together, say Hello Goodbye and take the selfie of their dreams as they take part of one of the most famous Beatles images of all time! The figures will be on display Eight Days A Week at Madame Tussauds Orlando for a limited time only, so get your Ticket to Ride at MadameTussauds.com/Orlando today!

Madame Tussauds is world-renowned for the creation of lifelike wax figures that pay homage to A-list celebrities from film, television, sports, music musicians, history and pop culture. Each figure involves teams of professional artists and sculptors who spend months of research and take more than 300 measurements to recreate world-famous icons, to achieve the kind of astonishing realism that has been at the heart of the 250-year Madame Tussauds legacy.
