Cirque Du Soliel’s Beatles LOVE at the Mirage

by Jeff on Feb.21, 2009, under Entertainment, Music

If  you are a Beatles fan, or a Cirque Du Soleil fan then you are going to love (pun intended) the Cirque Du Soleil Beatles LOVE show at the Mirage in Las Vegas. I am a fan of both and couldn’t think of a better way to see the Beatles.

The remix of the music by Sir George Martin and his son Giles is awesome. Every time I listen to the songs I here something new.

We were if Las Vegas for a convention and at the last minute decided to go to the show. We checked for tickets on line and there were sets available, being a Thursday night we decided to see what we could get at the box office. Good move, one of the things that impresses me most about my wife is her ability to connect with people. After she talked to the lady at the box office we had $150.00 seats for half price. This is a like theater in the round. There are really no bad seats. Some of the really cheap seats way at the top have a slightly obstructed view. The seats all have speakers behind your head for a complete surround sound experience.

If you are going to Vegas you have to see this show, but, before you do, go to the About the Show on the Cirque Du Soleil web and read it, especially the Directors Vision and the Characters. Even if you are and avid Beatles fan it will help you understand some of what you are seeing. As with all Cirque Du Soleil shows there are a whole lot of things going on all over the stage. Amazing acrobatics, people flying all over the place, very strange things walking across the stage. Cool.

One thing about where you decide to sit. During the Within You, Without You song they pull a very large sheet off the bed that rises up in the middle of the stage and pull it up over the  lower half of the audience, then flap it up and down.  We were in the lower half so we were “part of the show” pushing the sheet up off us when it came down. Kinda cool. I think it would be awesome to see from the upper half also, like a big cloud with a bed in the middle.
