| - I have seen most of the Vegas Cirque du Soleils over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed all, but one of them.....the The Beatles LOVE is not that odd one. Although not as large scale a stage as the likes of CDS's such as 'O' LOVE was no less fun, high energy, colorful, and exciting to watch. There were such awesome stage technology, character performances, and Beatles music.....oftentimes heart pounding.....wait a minute, that could've been the awesome sound system you could actually feel in pounding on your chest. The performers were so incredibly skilled with every acrobatic and dance move that it just keeps you awed throughout.
For those who thought there was no story line to this performance probably don't understand what the the production is all about. It's not a literal story like you may see at a movie. It's an artistic and loose interpretation of the Beatles' life and times. Just because an abstract painting by Van Gogh doesn't look like a Mona Lisa doesn't mean it has no meaning or story behind it. Every work of art has a meaning behind it and CDS's The Beatles LOVE production is no different.
I had actually wanted to watch the show the day before and had asked our hotel concierge for help with the tickets. However, we were a bit too late and the prices were rather high just a few hours before the performance. According to him, prices will typically go up the closer it gets to the performance time. So we opted to go watch the show the following night. We had reserved a balcony seat for just over $100, but when we got to the theater, we were met at the door by the usher who informed us that they had closed the balcony section and that we would be re-seated at a much better seat closer to the stage....wow....a $200 seat for $100!.....then again, I have seen this done before when there are plenty of empty prime seats to fill.....our view of the stage and performance was absolutely awesome as we were literally just feet from the stage and could watch every detail up close. The only problem I had was that there is very little leg room for taller people and I was a bit uncomfortable with my knees pressing up against the back of the seat in front for the 1-1/2 hour performance.
The entire cast of characters, performances, effects, music all literally made me feel like I was in a dream. In fact, although I'd never tried this it myself, I can only just imagine that this is precisely how it feels to be high on magic shrooms without actually having taken the stuff :)
