Looking Through a Glass Onion is an Australian stage show starring John Waters as John Lennon. It was written by Waters, with musical director Stewart D'Arrietta and features songs written by Lennon. The show features Waters performing Lennon's songs, accompanied at early shows by D'Arrietta and later by a full band led by D'Arrietta, linked by a series of monologues spoken as Lennon.[1][2][3]
