| - Spectacular!
Our first Cirque du Soleil show! It was fun to watch the acrobatic performances by these extraordinary artists as they balance, dance, and perform crazy human feats with agility and skill to the tunes of the Beatles. We were just behind one row from the front stage and although they were good seats now that I've seen how the performance played out I would've rather sat a little further in the back rows to get a complete visual of the stage. The stage was always busy with performers coming from all sides, corners and above!
I enjoyed the colorful props, the high-flying performances, the artistic costumes, theatrical fog and strobe effects, the songs and the overall theme. Having given Beatles LOVE the kudos they deserve it is still an acrobat show and I'm probably in the minority when I say this... I most likely will lean on not watching another Cirque du Soleil performance. I only liked this particular show because it had music background that I'm familiar with -- the Beatles. Even so I am not familiar with all the Beatles songs so sometimes I don't understand the story being acted with the song. Also, late last year (Nov 2017), we signed up to attend the Magical Technical Tour where they showed behind the scenes of how the rigging, automation, lighting projections, sound, and the props all played out in the Beatles LOVE. We thought it was cool... it was free admission.
Glad to have a chance to see our first Cirque du Soleil show at Beatles LOVE. After the show we took a look at the merchandise displayed at the Store. There is also a neon backdrop with a silhouette of the Beatles for photo ops. If you're a fan of the Fab Four this show is a must see! This is performing at The Mirage.
