Review of Cirque du Soleil ‘Beatles Love’
While in Vegas for a blogging conference, Nonstop’s Ed Morita checked out “Beatles Love,” a Cirque du Soleil show featuring the hit songs of The Beatles
All you need is 'Love' (10 of 10)
Although I feel that the second half of the show dragged a bit, overall, I think that "Love" is a fantastic show. The only thing that I would like to see changed would be the inclusion of post Beatles break-up songs. I would have loved to have seen what Cirque du Soleil could have done with songs like John Lennon's "Imagine," George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord," or Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die." Still, the music was great, and the inventiveness of the performances and overall design of the show was vintage Cirque du Soleil. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see this show while I was in Las Vegas, and I highly recommend that you see it as well.
