After its performance run, the musical went on the international "Beatlemania Bus and Truck tour". The musical kept on tour until in 1983, when it was sued by Beatles Company called "Apple Corps LTD".

As the fame of the musical was at its peak, "Beatlemania" started having permanent shows in several cities around the globe, and in addition to that, several semi-temporary shows in a number of cities as well.

Shows were also opened in Los Angeles, London, Cincinnati, and Chicago, as the musical sustained its performance run in New York. 10 bunks were also formed by the 50 original cast members of the show in the show"s influential years.
