PUTNAM — In celebration of the 70th birthday of Paul McCartney this June, along with the 30th anniversary of his 1982 critically acclaimed album “Tug of War,” The Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut at the Bradley Playhouse presents “One Sweet Dream: The Paul McCartney Experience!” as they embark on “The Hundred Years Tour” for 2012.
The performance is at 8 p.m. June 15 and June 16 at Bradley Playhouse. All seats are $25.00 and are general admission.

This concert will showcase McCartney’s legendary song catalog with both The Beatles, his 1970’s band “Wings” and the “Tug of War” album including “Take It Away” and the #1 Stevie Wonder duet “Ebony & Ivory”. Also, in special recognition of the 45th anniversary of “Sgt. Pepper”, McCartney’s contributions from the album will be included in the performance.
