| - This is definitely one of my top favorite Cirque productions. If you have experienced Cirque shows, you most likely assume what you're getting yourself into is another entertaining performance with tricks and stunts, basically typical circus acts with flair. Well, this definitely stands out amongst the others.
Obviously, LOVE celebrates the history of the Beatles and their music. Rather than aerial acts, contortionists, and trapeze acts, Cirque uses the art of dance and unique stage props to portray Beatles' classics and tell the story of their music. Don't worry, there are still some cool tricks they perform to keep you entertained.
The staging for the show is awesome, honestly any seat is a good seat. Wait, I'm lying, don't sit in the very first row! Your necks are bound to be hurting by the end of the show and all you'll get to appreciate is their feet. The stage is set in the middle of the room with the seats placed around them in a full 360 circle. There isn't any type of backdrop other than 2 panoramic screens placed against the back walls, which can be seen from any seat.
Even if you're not a huge Beatles fan (what?), you'll still enjoy the show because of the excitement and liveliness the dancers, props, and special effects are able to bring to the stage.
You'll leave the theatre feeling nothing but happiness and truly believing 'all you need is love'.
