Review: Beatles 'Love' Cirque du Soleil Show

Opening in late 2006, the magic of Cirque du Soleil was gloriously bought to the world of Beatles music. 'Love' is joint collaboration with George Martin (the old manager of the Beatles) and Cirque du Soleil, and is the resident act at the Mirage casino and hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I first saw the Beates 'Love' Cirque du Soleil show back in 2007 and was just blown away. Truly mezmerized. This was hands down the best audio/visual experience I have ever seen in my life - even better than any live concert i've seen before, even involving the audience at certain parts. I recently saw it again and I was just as blown away.

The opening of 'Love' is just phenomenal, starting with a haunting, starry version of 'Because' then coming alive with the formation of the Beatles to 'Get Back' (during a backdrop of the blitz). It then goes on to tell the tale of the rise of the Beatles to become superstars. Personal favorite highlights of mine are 'Get Back' (which I managed to catch on video below), a breathtaking ballet-like version of 'Something', and crowd eveloping 'Within Without You'. The show ends with spine tingling version of 'Revolution', and leaves you wanting more... and to see it again!

For any serious Beatles fan, The Bealtes 'Love' Cirque du Soleil show is worth a trip to Las Vegas alone. And even though it's not cheap (expect to pay around $100 at least per ticket) its certainly worth it. You even get to hear some previously unreleased versions of songs, including a studio version of  'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'... so what are you waiting for? Head out to Sin City and grab some tickets - you certainly won't be disappointed.
