We left Mondragone at 9:15 by bus and we arrived in Caserta at 10:15 while we were wating for the opening of the theatre we ate a sandwich. At 11:20 we went inside the theatre and we saw a musical, the story of The Beatles, at 12:30 we finished to saw the musical and some people asked the actors some questions: 'How old are you?', 'wgere are you from?' or 'What's your favorite song of The Beatles?' and they answered they were 21,23,25,22 and 27, they were from Galles,Liverpool, Manchester, Ireland and London and their favorite song of The Beatles was 'please, please me', 'Let it be' and 'Yellow submarine'.
