We have been to many Cirque du Soleil shows over the years. As a Beatle fan, I would have to say that LOVE is my favorite. Check out this video preview:

As with all Cirque shows, LOVE is a sight and sound experience. The theatre is beautiful; The cast puts on an exuberant show; But the star of the show is the music... As you probably already know, Sir George Martin (the 5th Beatle) and his son Giles, with the blessing of the remaining Beatles and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, used the master tapes at the Abbey Road Studios to create an incredible soundscape. It is my understanding that even though there are only 27 tracks, they used samples from 130 Beatle songs. These from the actual masters of the twenty--something year old Beatles recording in Abbey Road Studios 40+ years ago. It is pure Beatles, just re-mixed by the Beatles producer and his son. It is a surreal experience hearing the music you grew up with remixed in layer upon layer of multiple songs in one track.
The sound is exquisite. It is so crisp and fresh. It's as though the Beatles of the 1960's are right there in the theatre with you. There are 6,341 speakers in the theater and the audience feel as though they are completely surrounded in sound. There are three speakers in each seat -- two in each headrest and one in the seat in front of you.
If you are a Beatles fan, this is a show you just have to experience. This is a show you will want to see again and again.
It sells out every night, but if you didn't buy a ticket in advance, don't fret... Go to the Will Call window a bit before 6:00. That's when they release unspoken-for tickets - many times some of the best seats in the house!Who has seen Cirque de Soleil "Love" at the Mirage, Las Vegas? was it worth the journey and the money?
i envy anyone who has seen it. i own the album and i am completly in love with it. though it cant possibly be as good as the classic versions it is still amazing.
