Not the same thing, but Yoko Ono (and I believe also Sean Lennon?) consulted on the development of LENNON. I don't know if any of the Beatles provided any creative input on BEATLEMANIA?

I always wondered how the Beatles came to record a showtune, like ''Till There Was You'' from Meredith Willson's ''The Music Man.'' Turns out that Paul McCartney first heard Peggy Lee's recording and didn't even realize it was from a Broadway musical back then. Reportedly, ''Till There Was You'' proved important to the Beatles' career; their recording of it is what got them an audition with EMI.
