| - I LOVED IT!
I've never seen anything like this before. I was stunned. Blown away. This is completely unique, and incredibly awesome. This was my first Cirque du Soleil show, and I was mesmerized!
The show is put on in a circular theater, that has been built especially for the show. There are no bad seats in the house. We got our tickets comped to us by the Mirage, because we're such high rollers. When we arrived, they comped us an upgrade because I just seem to have that John Lennon quality to me. Peace. We ended up with incredible seats.
The show blew me away. The performers were flawless, and the show was the most original, most brilliantly choreographed display that I've ever seen, hands down.
I was incredibly surprised by the show. Going in, I thought that there'd be four dudes with mop top wigs lip syncing to the Beatles. Boy, was I wrong! It was all dancing, acrobatics, and amazing technical displays.
The set changes were almost instantaneous. Every song was more amazing than the last. They took great creative license on how to interpret the songs, and how to express the mood and theme of the music. I learned a bit about who the Beatles were, and got to explore their music in ways that I never thought was possible.
The dancers were all spot on, performing feats that I know took countless hours to perfect. I was beyond stunned with the way that they could throw dancers in the air, break dance, and bounce around like the laws of gravity had been momentarily repealed.
I won't give away the show, but it was absolutely delightful.
I highly recommend this performance. Even if you're not a Beatles fan, this show is completely beyond belief.
