Review from Mona W.
2/9/2012 1 Check-in Here
LOVE is a high energy and beautiful performance. It remains one of my favorite Vegas shows. However, if you are a Cirque du Soleil fans expecting something like O, Ka or Mystere, you might be disappointed. The focus of LOVE is Beatles songs. The circus acts are there to accompany the music without distracting the audiences. The use of visual effects are excellent in this show but the acrobat acts are probably not the best Cirque du Soleil could offer.
Love is one of the few shows where there are practically no bad seats. The stage is a relatively small 360 degree theatre. Even if you sit far back you can still have an amazing experience. If you are Beatles fan this is one truly mesmerizing show not to be missed. -

This was my fourth Cirque show, and the only one I don't think deserves five stars.
Let me say, this is a great show, so why the lower review? If you've ever seen a "classic" cirque show, you will understand my reasoning. Love is not a "classic" show.
It is great for what it is, but it is not great compared to what I expect when seeing a cirque show.
My expectations include crazy, amazing human feats and acts of oddity.
Love has a short section of trampolines and rollerblades, other than that is heavy on the dancing and tributes the music (which I guess is the point). "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is the best song/scene in the show, beautiful and stimulating.
I will recommend this show to people who've never seen a Cirque show, but after reading other reviews, I think you can tell that I am not alone in my disappointment. -

Ok, the big question before buying tickets: Should you or should you not depending on your interest/fandom of the Beatles.
Obviously, if you actively dislike them you should probably stay away. If you're a major Cirque fan it may be worth it, but the other Vegas option could be better.
On the other hand, if you are neutral or casual Beatles fan- Go for it!
I've seen all the Vegas Cirque shows. This isn't my favorite, but it's defiantly the most pure FUN!
The Beatles were my parents generation, so I didn't live during "Beatlemania", but to the best of my understanding this show does a great job capturing the fun, silliness, and psychedelic touches of the Beatles world.
Song choices are always debated in shows like this (ie. Viva Elvis & Michael Jackson: Immortal). Some people expect a "Best of" or get upset because their personal favorite was left out. The show can't do them all! Sgt. Pepper's gets a little extra attention, but the soundtrack samples a little from early to late.
My pet peeve in these reviews crops up here once again: people that complain about the lack of plot. There isn't supposed to be one! Stop looking for 1st, 2nd, 3rd Act and character development. It's not a movie or theater show. Don't expect a plot. It's not there. It's not supposed to be, you'll enjoy it a lot more if you don't search for one.
The Good: Seating! Almost everything is great! Upper level has a different view and gets to see a little that the lower level doesn't and vice-versa. Nothing is all that far from the in-the-round style.
The Bad: If your a Beatles fan, it gets difficult to not sing along. Do make the effort. Rhythmic clapping and tapping is acceptable.
The Message: From start to finish the show creators keep the theme of LOVE and the Beatles message of it, front and center. -

This is the second time I have seen this show and it got even better than the first one. Loved it.
If you expecting a lot of acrobats like the others you may be disappointed. This show is all about the music and the period it came from. If you lived through the 60's and 70's you will love it. -

I'm a huge Beatles fan and a pretty big Cirque du Soleil fan having seen Mystere, O, and Ka live in Vegas. This production leaves a lot to be desired.
There are two extremes of circus/acrobat-like shows. One extreme is many of the Chinese and Russian circus/acrobatic shows - all human acrobatics, zero art. Love is pretty much the other extreme - almost all art and almost no acrobatics.
Cirque du Soleil's trademark is more balanced show with impressive human acrobatics (using many Chinese and Russian acrobats, not surprisingly) matched with compelling original art & music. Love deviates from that blend into the "WTF is up with these random people in haphazard, colorful costumes dancing to slightly remixed Beatles music? Where are the people doing *amazing* things in an *artistic* way?"
Ka is the best Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas. Absinthe is probably the best show overall in Vegas, and I have seen more than ten of them.
---
Update:
I had rated Love two stars for this but changed it to one after two recent events:
1) Saw credit card bill and was reminded that I paid about $150 per person. Absinthe is about 1/2 that and is *infinitely* better.
2) Watched Cirque du Soleil's Verakai in 720p HD, which is very good, and am further reminded of how much Love sucked and is completely outside of Cirque du Soleil's MO. -

I'm not a Beatles fan at all. In fact you might say I hate them. I only went because my friends wanted to go. We got one of those cheap Vegas show ticket deals and wound up with great seats. Though I don't think there's a bad seat in the house due to the way the stage is set up.
Anyway it was my first Cirque show ever and I had a great time. It was fun from start to end. Some characters were kinda creepy yet cute at the same time. I thought the kids were particularly good.
They sell lots of LOVE items any Beatles fan would appreciate. I don't think I'd see it again but I definetly enjoyed the performance. -

Simply amazing! As good as Cirque du Soleil gets!! My mouth was soar after the show from smiling so much. Even if you're not a Beatle's fan, after watching the show you will be. :) Loved every second!! Was afraid to blink because I didn't want to miss anything. Made my heart smile!
Totally worth watching, maybe even more than once ;) -

Crazy fun. Even if you are not much of a Beatles fan, the constant moving sets, costumes and choreography is simply stunning. After it ended we looked at each other and said, what in the hell did we juts see? Worth the money, nice theater see it before it ends.

This show totally sucked. If you're a dude, you're not going to like this show.
There wasn't a ton of acrobatics, but it had more dancing. This was like a bad musical, except the characters hardly sing. Rather they rely of course on the soundtrack of the Beatles and the characters running around trying to act out a story.
And .. as for the story.. does the guy lose the girl, and then see her pursued and wooed by another dude before she gets killed in an accident and go to heaven? Or did I drink my giant $16-20 Pina Colada too quickly? It's not a really happy story.
Thank goodness the pina colada was significantly large enough to last the show. (Might hold ~40 ounces.)
The true mark of a good show is the buzz that you hear when you walk out, with everyone raving how great or awesome it was. When I went to pick up my tickets at will-call for the late show, the previous show was coming out.. and that should have been my cue to request a refund before I even go it. I understand their disappointment now. Save your money for dinner, gambling, or something other than Beatles/Love show.
My recommendation: Go see the Cirque du Soleil "O" show. That was fantastic when I saw that on a previous trip. That's one of the most popular shows for good reason.
I think they even have a more sensual (read: revealing outfits :-) show if that's your thing. But there are other much better venues if you want to see skin. -

This show is very uneven. A few Beatles numbers were staged really well and contributed a new visual poetry to my appreciation of the familiar songs. However too much of the show featured 30 or so performers with various props aimlessly moving about the stage for apparently no reason, as if only to impress the audience with a large population filling the stage. During these times the show lacked focus and simply rambled along leaving me wondering how this early 70's style "experimental theatre" related at all to a tribute to the Beatles. Cirque has diluted its original concept by creating too many shows that do not live up to the vision of the original creators.
Half-price tickets were easily purchased throughout Las Vegas, but even then I felt it was overpriced. There were many empty seats on a week night in mid-January. -
Review from Shari S.

I didn't think I was a Cirque person. Ten years ago I saw La Nouba and, while I appreciated the skills, sets, and costumes, the performance itself eventually left me so bored. Do amazing thing. Hold for applause. Keep holding. Do same amazing thing. Hold for applause. Keep holding. Do same amazing thing a few more times. Keep holding for applause although all aerial somersaults are starting to look alike. You get the idea.
As a self-respecting lifelong Beatles fan who married an even bigger fan, which I didn't think was possible without getting into obsessive territory, I wanted to see LOVE, but I had doubts. Wouldn't another boring Cirque be made even worse if it involved profaning the Fab Four as well?
We went for the cozy two-seat rows right down front. I don't think it's possible to get bad seat in this intimate theatre; people argue whether its better to be above or below "the tent" during a certain part of the show, but I don't think you can go wrong either way. We really liked being right in the midst of things (I was even hit by a flying "brick" during the Blitz scene. Cool!), and I especially liked having the row to ourselves. Ah, relaxed elbows! Sometimes it was hard to take everything in at once, but the close interaction with many of the characters was a good trade-off.
The show was BRILLIANT. Please imagine this word - BRILLIANT - written out in diamonds across the sky with Lucy trapezing around and between the letters. BRILLIANT.
I don't know how they weave it all together, but they do: the personal background and stories of the Beatles, the phases of their musical growth, historical context, and then also interpretations of the songs. All using the original (if modified) music - no cringy covers here.
I was spellbound.
Spellbound and snuffly, with a very wet face at the end.
Now I have a new problem: I can't go to any other Cirque shows because I don't see how any other can compare to LOVE. So I guess I'll just go see LOVE again. And maybe again. Again, again, again. It's all I need. -

WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! I don't even think I could put into works just how amazing this show was. First off, its worth every penny. We spent 300 for two tickets in section 208. Best section to watch the show because you are able to see the 360 stage and any of the acrobats coming down from the ceiling. The show keeps you entertained the entire time and at the end it leaves you wanting more to watch. I will see this show over and over again. Alot of people complain that their is just not enough acrobats but to me there was just enough and the props were amazing. We went and saw "O" the following evening and thought it was horrible with no story line and the music was just lame. Beatles Love is a MUST SEE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing I've seen in any genre of live entertainment comes close to this truly stunning production. I was moved beyond words throughout the show and had a lump in my throat much of the time. I've wanted to see this show since it started, and I finally had the chance as it celebrates five years at the Mirage. I will absolutely see it again, and maybe more than that. Breathtakingly creative in so many ways, a fantastic tribute to the songwriting genius of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, and a tremendous sensory experience that left my wife and me wishing it wouldn't end. We were left almost speechless by what we experienced in the customized room designed especially to pull off this show.
The naysayers here were either drunk or have no affinity for the phenomenon that was The Beatles. If you want to be absolutely blown away by a live production, go see this show. We sat in row K in "gold circle" seats that were worth every penny. Was it a classic Cirque show? I have no idea and I couldn't care less. Was it unbelievably great as a piece of multi-media and live performance art? Absolutely!
I can't wait to see it again. -

I've seen quite a few of the Cirque du Soleil shows, as have my other 3 friends. We all agreed that this was the worst production we have ever seen! There's no cool acrobatics, nothing that makes you marvel and the performer's strength and abilities. I fell asleep during almost all the songs! It was that horrible head bobbing kinda sleep. Yes, the costumes are colorful and wacky, but even that wasn't enough to overcome the horrible mash up of randomness. There's no intermission as it's only a 90 minute show. Save your money - go see another show.

I am reviewing all the Cirque Vegas shows, so I will add this paragraph comparing each one. I have seen each one twice (and saw LOVE 3 times), so I feel confident in my ranking. My ranking would be 1) Ka 2) Love 3) O 4) Mystere 5) Zumanity 6) Viva Elvis. Ka is the most technically complete, with a storyline, amazing stunts, creative images, stages rotating on axes, etc. LOVE is the most fun and a very close second place. O is the most beautiful. Mystere has the best stunts and is most "traditional". Zumanity is the sexiest, but stunts are just okay. And Viva Elvis could be sooo much better. You can read my other reviews for more info...
LOVE is sooo much fun. The music, of course, is great. The theater is great, and there are no bad seats. The choreography with the songs is so creative. I particularly love the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Blackbird, and the "Parachute Blanket" portion of the show. Neat Beatles shadows. Such great production value to this show. All my friends have loved it, and I take new people each time I go. Even my elderly friend enjoyed the show. I can't imagine someone not liking this show.
But beware of taking pics at any point before or during the show. Those creepy cirque people will pop out of the ceiling to stop you. Where did they come from?!? Creepy.
Overall, a fun and creative show, but if you want the best stunts, then Mystere or Ka or O would be better. -

Ok...I was kinda disappointed. I guess I expected more acrobatics, and more humor, and not sooooo much dancing. At least now I know, and will be sure to hit up pretty much any OTHER Cirque show, or Le Reve, next time I'm in Vegas.

As a huge Beatles fan, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after the lights came up, I was thoroughly impressed. It features a fantastic score that cleverly reworks the Beatles material in a way that is both fresh and reverent. Sometimes the score breaks a tune down to just a handful of tracks, sometimes it mashes up tunes in clever ways. The visuals are pure psychedelic eye-candy, with a set crazy set that can transform the 'in the round' stage into a surprising number of variations. And, of course the performers were amazing. Acrobats, dances, skaters, comedians, gymnasts, etc. Above all this, there is some narrative, which is something I don't normally associate with Cirque Du Soleil. There are some genuinely moving moments that deal with important moments in the lives of the Beatles, both as a band and as individuals. There is a particularly heartbreaking moment involving John's Mom, which segue's into a moment about young John and young Julian Lennon at the same time. It's fairly heady for a show with no dialog.
Perfect Score. Go See It! -

As far a shows go, if you're a Beatles fan, you'll enjoy this one. More of a Cirque de Soleil quality than pure Beatles.
Lots of interesting characters but wish the music wasn't done with as much lyrical license. Hard to improve on something already so perfect.
Seemed to drag a bit in the middle but otherwise what you expect from a big Vegas show.

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CDS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVEd the music, LOVEd the staging, LOVEd the artists, & LOVEd everything!
The first act was overwhelming in a good way! There was so much to see, I didn't know where to focus on.
Our seats were a lil too close (7th row) and some of the things happened behind us and all around, it was exhilarating!
I didn't grow up listening to Beatles, so I didn't know many of the songs, but the music was great! They also incorporated many non-released tracks and you get to hear them talking. It was like they were in the show. Its great!
I would definitely come back again. For Sure!Listed in: Travels | Vegas, baby!, Off Broadway

I would really advise anyone who is a fan of the Beatles to see this show, and really anyone who isn't too familiar with the Beatles. Actually, I'm not sure who would hate this show. When the show begins, it has a slow start through the first song, but by the second song I was almost in tears from all the beauty- musically and visually. Just a stunning show. Granted, there were a few songs that had weaker visuals than the others, but overall this is an amazing show. My biggest complaint is that some of my favorite songs were left out, but that's what happens when you have as many good songs as the Beatles. Do yourself a favor and don't check out any of the pictures or details about this. Go in fresh like I did and you will be pleasantly surprised.

I thought this was a great tribute to the music of the Beatles. It really brought you into the world they were in when they wrote and performed most of their hits. I only give it three stars though because it wasn't very impressive for a Cirque du Soleil show. I felt that I could perform quite a bit of the show, and I am no acrobat.
If you are a Beatles fan (which most everyone is), then it is worth seeing, but don't expect to see your typical acrobatic phenomenons. -

George. Paul. Ringo. John. The Fab FOUR.
I am SO into symbolism, so when I counted four of everything, the symmetry gave me such a thrill. Four translucent screens. A stage with four entrances. Four roller-bladers to go up & down the ramp to "Help." Four gigantic balloons sporting their signature mop-top haircut. Four of everything to represent the four men who's talent provided the soundtrack to my parents' courtship & to my childhood.
Each song (many from the album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") comes alive with the acrobatics Cirque is known for mixed with modern dance moves (breakdancing, stepping, hip hop.)
My favorite scenes are "A Day in the Life" with the break-apart VW Beetle & the Indian-inspired garb worn by FOUR women (suspended in air) in "Here Comes the Sun."
I bought same-day tickets from a Tix4Tonight outpost for about $115 per ticket for Section 200. Wonderful seats, as much of the magic takes place in the air! Plus, you'll be glad for the further-back seats when the bed scene comes along! I wasn't born in the 60's or 70's, but my parents would blast their albums on weekend mornings & when we had kareoke parties. Ahhh, memories.Listed in: Las Vegas., A Night At the Theater

I can't believe I've never written a review for this show. I've seen it on four occasions over the years and each time is like seeing it for the first time. I came for preview performances before it opened years ago and was blown away. Being a great fan of the Beatles this show paid homage in the best way possible. If only Viva Elvis had been able to capture the same awe and fantastical feeling that this show seems to.
I won't rehash all the same things everyone else has said about the show, only say that if you haven't gone, go. If you have seen it, go again. It's that good! -

LOVED THIS.
Granted, I'm a huge Beatles fan. I am also easily amused and generally easily impressed by theatrical performances.
But Beatles LOVE was amazing! I loved the mixes/remixes of classic Beatles songs used in somewhat unexpected ways. I especially loved the opening act and the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds act. The first had so much energy! And the second was so gorgeous and disorienting, perfect for the song.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this show. It was gorgeous, fun, and a great Beatles tribute. The interplay between video footage/silhouettes/live actors/recurring characters from Beatles' songs, etc was just amazing. And the strange-quirky sensibility of the Cirque aesthetic was perfect for a show centered around the Beatles.
I'd love a chance to see it again, whenever we are back in Vegas. This is a must-see, especially for Beatles fans (but honestly, who isn't a Beatles fan?!) -
Review from Aaron M.
12/30/2011
Based on the other reviews, this show certainly has plenty of fans. I'm guessing most of them didn't know what Cirque du Soleil is famous for, because Cirque du Soleil this show was not.
Cirque du Soleil is, first and foremost, a unique art form that provides jaw-dropping, unforgettable displays of physical human ability. It's not just my opinion; their own website proclaims as much. This incredible experience is what causes people to book pricey shows weeks in advance.
But there were almost none of the signature Cirque du Soleil acrobatics. Instead there were lots and lots of interpretive dance moves, running around in elaborate costumes, nonsensical random artsy monologue and dialogue - and, oddly, grunting. (At least three of us thought said grunting had an awkward racial tinge.) As a result, the show felt less like Cirque and more like a live action re-enactment of the multi-media displays of Beatles' memorabilia that I'd seen recently, of all places, interspersed between gameplay in the video game Beatles Rock Band.
This version of "Cirque du Soleil light" seemed to answer the question I had going in: how does one maintain the Cirque identity without upstaging the legendary Beatles? Apparently the producers answer was "We won't."
While costumes, interpretive dance, and general weirdness are indeed part of Cirque du Soleil's identity, I don't think they're the parts that people come to shows for. And based on the applause I heard, it seemed like I wasn't the only one in the audience that felt this way. Not once was applause instantaneous, the way it is when a crowd is wowed by a performance. And, to my own disappointment for the dutiful and energetic performers, not once was the applause prolonged beyond that required by courtesy. In an earlier life, I spent a lot of time onstage myself, and weak ovations like this are heartbreaking, especially when the disappointment is not the fault of the performer.
Yet as I left the theater, I overheard at least four patrons (all women) remark on how much they loved the show. It was unclear to me if this was genuine awe at the overall experience, a rekindled infatuation with the Beatles, denied guilt at having just paid $132 to watch a big music video with some interpretive dancers, or something else. To some extent, I understood those who enjoyed the show. The Beatles songs I adore most - 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Hey Jude' among them - were the ones I remembered most fondly. It suggested to me that those who thought they loved the show actually just loved the music. The sound quality was impeccable, delivered through a massive custom audio setup including stereo in-seat speakers that made the Beatles' music come alive in a way even my higher end multi-speaker car stereo cannot. When combined with the light show and special effects, it was often a better-than-average way to experience Beatles' recordings.
But the standard should be much higher than beating your car stereo. To receive 5 stars, this show needs some changes: first, drop the "Cirque du Soleil" branding. Second, advertise it as an interpretive dance plus Beatles music multimedia show. Third, lower the price by 3x to be cheaper than the Beatles Rock Band video game. Finally, have the surviving Beatles make cameos.
I imagine none of this will happen anytime soon. In the meantime, Beatles fans, rest assured that Cirque du Soleil did not upstage the Beatles. And Cirque du Soleil fans, make sure you get tickets to a different Cirque show. -

Stunningly beautiful.
The performers, costumes, music and stage design were all perfect. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Review from Lawrence L.
Covina, CA
This is not just another Beatles cover band act; fans of the Beatles and/or Cirque du Soleil would not be disappointed in seeing this performance at the Mirage...
All of the floating, flying, jumping, trampolining, trapezing, rollerblading is so dynamic and nonstop that I found it hard to focus on any one part. The performers are all in such top gymnast shape, the strength, the balance, the flexibility, it just puts all of my own yoga exercise efforts in modest perspective...
I have come to distinguish Cirque du Soleil from any ordinary circus act by the music and sound for which they have always been known for the great job that they do and this is no exception. The venue has speakers built into the seating and the songs that we all recognize have been remixed and sounds just incredible...
But this is not just a collection of remixed Beatles songs choreographed with The Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, there were passages where you felt that the actual Beatles were there as some of their studio dialogs were also brought in with their silhouettes to give the performance some life and make it feel as if they were actually there...
Give us back John and George, and you can have Justin Bieber (hahah!)...
We loved the show, took the whole family. Try using tix4tonight service for discounts... -

Absolutely mind-boggling. I think it's so cool that Beatles producer George Martin oversaw the musical production of this show and had access to original tracks and even some rare studio outtakes.
Combine that with brilliant dancers, aerialists, acrobats and cool visuals, and it's quite a memorable experience. -

1st try = loved LOVE. 2nd visit = truly loved LOVE even more. My heart & soul asks my mind; could this be the best show in all of Vegas? Why, let me think a moment, as I imagine my favorite scene when they bounce through the air on the trampolines to "Revolution"..... YES!!! Me & every member of my family (who has had the pleasure) loves LOVE! Even if this is your 1st experience or if you grew up loving the Beatles, you will enjoy this show!
OK, perspective check time: I didn't grow up a Beatles fan. I don't know more than enough song titles that I might be able to count on a single hand, however I was in complete bliss during the entirety of the show. We took family that grew up as Beatles fans, who went completely bananas over LOVE. Then there's my boyfriend, who despite not growing up in that era, has always enjoyed their music. He also enjoyed the show. There you have it from all 3 Beatles fan perspectives: newbie, die-hard, & appreciator.
If I might give you one single piece of advice from my 2 separate LOVE experiences, it would be to reserve a seat just above where the " white blanket" ends. This area of seating will provide you with the best available view and overall experience of the show. This request will not be anything new or foreign for them. -

Big warning!
I was on my feet at the end of the show for all the wrong reasons. If you're over 5'8" or long in the leg or are overweight, you're going to be uncomfortable. The seats (at least in section 207) were tight and short, I thought I was in Fenway Park. They could have easily made the armrests a little narrower or one less seat per row and it would have been comfy. This is the only Cirque show that I've had this problem (also seen Zumanity, Ka & Mystere).
As for the show... well, I spent the first 15 minutes scratching my head - totally confused. The music carries the show (semi-Beatles fan). As stated before, it's lacking the acrobatics that Cirque is known for, more into dancing and rollerskates. Kind of 'blah' in my book. -

I put off seeing this show for many years because I am not a Beatles fan by any stretch. Many of their songs are familiar to me but none are in my itunes. But the GF wanted to go and so we double dated with some friends.
The showroom is more like a stadium. I don't think that there is a bad seat in the house. The seats were very comfortable. Once the show started with the exception of my GF I for got about everyone around me.
This show is audibly and visually stunning. The performances and stunts are absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend. -

Crazy good. Best cirque show yet! The music was well done and speakers in the headrests of the stadium seat helped drown out the lady singing along in the seat next to us. Non stop dancing and so many costumes to look at it was hard to take it all in. Beautiful acrobatics nicely choreographed to complement the Beatles tunes! Well worth the price of admission. This was the highlight of our Vegas week.
