| - Beautiful theatrics and costumes, great music.....
Man I feel like the outcast giving 3 stars when everyone else is giving 5! But I have to be honest and this is only my opinion. This show by all means does not suck, I just don't like it as much as I like the other Cirque shows.
This is not like your typical cirque show. I made the mistake of going in expecting to see all the fun bendy and crazy stuff from the other shows I"ve seen - O, Mystere, KA, Kooza, and Zumanity. Love is mostly dancing, bouncing on trampolines and floating around via bungee cords to Beatles tunes. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, and I especially love musicals. The show started off AWESOME and I thought, ok this is going to be great! But then they seemed to play more of the slower tunes after and it just seemed to get bland. Unfortunately, I found myself slightly bored and even fell asleep a couple of times during the bouncing and rain boot stepping. I'm not the only one either, I caught my fiance and a few other people around me dozing off as well. haha
There is an act I loved though- the one with Something in The Way she Moves...BEAUTIFUL!
This show focuses more on the music, the beauty of the costumes and stage, the visual effects and lights. They even play conversation clips of the famous quartet. There's quite a number of symbolism going on here as my friend explained, a lot of acting to complement the songs.
There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the theater since the stage is in the middle with seats surrounding it. We bought our tickets from the discount tickets booth on the strip (90 - 100 bucks?), so I recommend checking that out first before paying full price at the Mirage, where it's playing.
