I am a HUGE fan of The Beatles. Over the years, I've memorized just about every one of their songs. Unfortunately, I wasn't born in time to watch them perform live. Beatles LOVE is about as close you could get to a great Beatles show with many acrobatic stunts and visuals that make their songs come to life. I wouldn't recommend just about everyone to watch it though, especially if you're not that big on Beatles - at least, pass this show off till you've watch other Cirque performances.
The show's soundtrack is a mash-up mix of many of the band's hits including Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Blackbird, St. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Back In The USSR, A Day In The Life and snippets of lesser known songs such as Blue Jay Way, etc. I was especially driven by the Taxman/Drive My Car/The Word trio mash up and Papa, who's an even bigger fan than me, had a big smile on his face the whole way through. Drapes, actual voices retrieved from old recording sessions and moving silhouettes of John, Paul, George and Ringo made it feel like they were actually there
Stunts were not as elaborate as the ones I've seen at KA, O, or La Reve. However, this one reached the heart more than the others. I watched this show about 3 years ago and till today, they're still playing at the Mirage. Stop by the gift shop after the show and get yourself a souvenir or even better, save the cash and get a picture by the jukebox and colorful hallway leading up to the theatre.
