What a mind-blowing show!! The best cirque du soleil for the music fan. The Beatles music flowed perfectly with the performances.

Bottom-line up front: LOVE is the best show I’ve ever seen!

I saw it last summer during a “preview performance” and it was awesome. Have seen Mystiere, KA, Zoomanity, and other headliners and sideliners and for my money LOVE is the best.

The stylization of the Beatles music is incredible and my wife, sisters-in-law and I absolutely enjoyed every second of it!

I’d pay over $100 to see it again (and I’m a cheap bastard!)

I only saw the first half of this show because the hotel’s security system went nuts and a comedy of errors occurred that involved stuck performers, audience shoutouts, and an entire theater section getting soaked as a finale.

The seats were some of the most expensive available, and I’ll be going through the refund process and unlikely to return. I’ve seen every non-Zumanity CDS show on the Strip AND I grew up listening to Beatles music unaware of the meanings and references of the songs, so I’m not exactly out of the target audience, but this was just not good. The choreography was well done in one scene involving a group of women on wires flying around the stage weaving around and glancingly missing a guy on the stage. The rest of it was just… Eh. Maybe played too much for humor or something.

Would not recommend to others, however one nice scene and the fact that I only saw half the show means I can’t give it the full stinker in good conscience.

I really enjoyed this show. Combine some fantastic remixes and mash-ups of songs from The Beatles, with Cirque’s amazing abilities and you get LOVE. I see this show as the most accessible of all Cirque shows. The costumes look like they are from 1960, not Mars as they do in some other CDS shows. The music is really great – the first time they’ve ever licensed anything for any kind of show through decades of overtures from producers. I saw the show while it was still in previews – at which state CDS surveys the audience after the show to get a feeling for what they thought… There were a couple of scenes that went on a little long but based on what I heard from other audience members, this was common feedback – my bet is that they’ll trim in a few places. I highly recommend this show. To really get Cirque you also need to see a show like ‘O’ or ‘Mystere’ but in my mind, ‘LOVE’ is a don’t miss Las Vegas show. The Mirage scored big time with this one.

Just saw “Love.” I’ve seen O, Mystere and Ka and must say that Love is the least impressive. The “soundscape” (as George Martin calls it) is fantastic- mixing scores of Beatles tunes into one another and updating the feel of the music (if that’s not heritical)—think the remixes of Elvis’ “A Little Less Conversation” a few years back. As far as the show, if you’ve seen a CdS show, you will wonder where the WOW factor is. In Love there isn’t a single amazing CdS treat. There are skateboarders (?) and a B trampoline act. that’s about it.. Also, not too much Love either—more of a mixmatched Beatles’ history lesson- and a dark one at that. Starts in WWII Liverpool and then progresses. The “blackbirds” scene is embarassing. I’m sure it will be cut in the final show. Love also has some parts that just don’t make logical, historical or artistic sense (like the African-American couple dancing a la 1985 to Lady Madonna—and Lady Madonna here is pregnant (or at least looked so with her prosthetic belly). Must say that the Bed scene is fantastic: you are literally enveloved into a floating bed’s sheet. For CdS see (in order) O, Ka, Mystere…. then Love. Maybe it will improve and be a quality show by the time it opens officially in late June. But the preview I saw (P McC was in the audience!) on 6/15 was disappointing.
