The Beatles Love

The Beatles Love

The Beatlesiconare one of those timeless bands. My parents grew up with them and now my generation is discovering them all over again, if they haven’t already done so. I’m a huge Beatles fan, as is my fiancee. In fact, we’ll be playing all Beatles music during the dinner portion of our wedding reception!

I had the pleasure of getting to see the Cirque du Soleil production of The Beatles Love at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Not only was I surprised at the re-mixing of some of the songs, but the talent of the performers. Absolutely death defining stunts, great music, and an even better story make it a show you can’t miss if you go to Las Vegas. One thing that did surprise me was that people who were there at the show seemed to be more into the performance than the music. I couldn’t help but bob my head stomp my feet to favorites like Get Back, I Am The Walrus, Octopus’s Garden, and Come Together. All said, they put together about 30 songs into this production and then put them on CD so we can always go back and enjoy the music from the show!
