The Heritage Planetarium's Laser Beatles shows were a major success, and officials are scrambling to organize more shows before the semester's end.

Planetarium workers presented 21 shows in February, said Director Tom Webber. Officials announced 10 public shows and actually hosted 16 shows on the same nights, he said.

Nearly 1,200 people attended the shows, Webber said. The Heritage Planetarium averaged 57 people per show, which was close to its 67-person capacity, he said.

Officials have just announced six additional Laser Beatles events, which will be at 6:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. April 9-10.

Laser Beatles covers 15 songs from 11 Beatles albums that were produced over a six-year period.
