| - If you were never a big Beatles fan before, after this show you'll be wanting to listen to them more and MORE!!!!!!! I know I did!
I have been to this show four times now since 2008, and each time I've been it has been just absolutely magical. The idea of mashing up Beatles songs to some, may seem sacrilegious, but I for one found it to be absolutely GENIUS!
I've seen other peoples review of this show how the "story is difficult to follow..." it isn't. It really isn't difficult. If you know anything about the Beatles in the most simple explanations of their music and the time in which they were huge, then the show will make perfect sense to you.
Certain show pieces are directly correlated to the music that's playing, while others are just background pieces, but altogether, the show is one amazing sight to see!
Also, many have complained that none of their favorite songs are used. That is just a very minor detail. Remember folks, this is a Cirque du Soleil SHOW, not a Beatles concert of their Greatest Hits. If you want to hear your favorite Beatles song, just go to Spotify/Pandora and find it and quit complaining.
I love the performers that come out beforehand in the audience and interact with the teapot. They're obviously enjoying their job and they really make a wonderful effort to interact with as many people as they can before the lights go out.
I've been fortunate enough to have in the four times I've gone to have seen the show from different perspectives. One time, my fiancée and I got a '$99 Locals Special' for a designated seating area but it was actually closed off, so for FREE, we were allowed to go sit down in the lower two front rows by the stage! It was a blast to be able to see everyone so close and also get to be underneath the giant sheet used in the show!
Then another time, for our anniversary we had seats in an upper seating zone that was somewhat uncomfortable and since the show wasn't a sold out performance we were asked by a cast member if we'd like to move to our own individual swivel chairs in another area which we were very happy about! Plus we had that entire area all to ourselves! Nobody else was sitting below us or next to us!
The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil was the ONLY Cirque show I had seen until 2015 when my fiancée and I saw Le Reve for her birthday, but it's definitely a different type of experience. All I can say is that when it comes to repeat viewings of shows in Las Vegas, I will ALWAYS pick The Beatles Love!
From what I've read recently, they have given the show a bit of an update and made it "more psychedelic" and some have said it's not a good upgrade. Well, I feel like I may just have to make trip number five to judge for myself!
Best parts of the show for me (Small spoilers ahead!)
-The opening performance for 'Get Back/Glass Onion' when those curtains drop after Ringo's drum solo from 'The End' that really gets you in the mood for something big about to happen!
-The dancing galoshes in the 'Lady Madonna' sequence
-The Abbey Road VW Beetle both intact, then in pieces during the 'A Day in the Life' sequence
-The 'Help!' rollerbladers
-The jumpers with trampolines during the 'Revolution' sequence
-The 'Beatles Shadows' bits that show on the curtains between sequences
-The finale
Really, all you need IS love!
