| - There are well over a thousand reviews on Love, so I'll be very brief here. I was suckered in by the flashing lights, happy faces and great reviews. We went to Vegas twice in 6 months, once in November and again last month, in March. In November, we saw Boys II Men, also at the Mirage and pasted by LOVE. It looked amazing and I wished we could have seen it then, but due to time constraints, we simply couldn't. I also like the Beatles, so this seemed like an instant "love" connection. I was so wrong.
On with the positives... The production spares no expense on set, decor, costume or lights. This is one of the more elaborate shows. There is always something happening on set and your attention will be pulled in a thousand directions. This circque de sole show pulls out all the bells and whistles.
The not so good... Of all the amazing songs that the Beatles created, they choose a wide variety of popular and no so popular to convey their messages. For example, there was one scene during the show that references the civil rights era in America and had actors dressed in Ku Klux Klan costumes... That was a little unexpected, but it somehow ties into the story line. How it ties in exactly, I don't really know. There is a lot going on (and not in a good way). There were a few acts that just had me completely confused.
