| - I got some tickets for this for my guy for his 21st and he thought this was the best show he'd ever seen. For myself, I enjoyed, but I wasn't sure it was quite worth $300 for 1.5 hours of entertainment.
The theater is really small, and you really can see everything from anywhere in it, but if you're anything like me, you'll read ten reviews that say that and still wanna sit as close as possible, but really, it's a tiny theater. Probably why tickets are so much.
I will admit I didn't start really getting into the show until the "Something" sequence, which was very well choreographed, but about fifteen minutes in. My favorite, hands down, was the "Tomorrow Never Knows/Within You Without You" sequence-- it was really surprising and such a cool effect, I would imagine, from both sides (we were above the effect).
Everybody loves the Beatles, and anyone who says they don't is just trying to be cool, but they're dumb. How can you not like this show?
The "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sequence was also pretty crazy and unexpected!
Overall, I was very entertained. I don't know if I would be willing to pay to see the show again, but I really enjoyed it. I also really want that silver Beetle that's in the show.
Oh, some of the characters were kind of weird and unexplainable. The Father McKenzie character? WTF? The guy all in white that kept pouring tea? The KKK? Kinda freaky circus-y. I guess that's what makes it Cirque.
Still incredible performances. Five stars!
