Oh wow. LOVE is one of the most enchanting shows I've seen in my life. You know that feeling when you are giddy like a child and your eyes are big and you can't help but smile? Yep, that was me for the entire span of LOVE.
I am a huge fan of The Beatles, but even if you aren't I think that this is a performance you would enjoy at any age. When Sir Nicholas and I left the show we asked each other our favorite parts and truth be told it was hard to name the ones we like best because we liked them all. But, we managed to narrow down some highlights and I'll put them here for you. If you've never seen LOVE and don't like things ruined for you don't read any further...
Nick loved two parts best, one was a reoccurring theme of VW Beatles that ended with one actually made of different parts on handles with performers holding each piece inside the vehicle. At one point the car breaks apart and all these dancers spill out using a wheel hub or hood as an accessory for their act. It was quick charming. The other part was a trampoline set where there were four trampolines in the floor and the performers used them along with nets and a big red English phone booth to do the most amazing acrobatic acts.
While I liked both of those acts, too I thought that a foursome on roller skate (Maybe roller blades? I don't know because I couldn't see the wheels thanks to their shaggy white boot covers.) that used ramps to do their tricks was amazing. They were all perfectly in sync with hitting the highs in the air and on their tricks.
But, for the song that stole the show when put together with the act I'd have to say Lucy in the Sky was the hands down winner for me. This started with a giant sheet covering the entire audience that reminded me of being in elementary gym class. They withdrew the white covering and the entire theater looked light we were out in the night sky, but a trippy version. Then a lovely red headed girl along with accompanying aerialists performed their act that seemed to showcase the song beautifully.
The tickets range from $100 - $150 for performance I think and this is one show where I say the $150 is worth it. It's a memory that likely won't soon fade, especially if you've ever liked any Beatles tune at all.
