We had amazing seats in row 304 up in the balcony which I recommend cause you could see the whole production, it was breathtaking!!Very beautifully done and the huge cloak that went across the whole stage and over onto the audience was by far stunning! it took my breath away!!!I loved it and any of the bad or undecided comments on this were either right in front of the stage so therefore they couldn't panoramically see everything which is what you can do if your in the balcony seats or they just hate art. I would love to go see it again and again, the music mix was wonderful too!!!

From the dark side of the WW1 England war drama to the finish, I enjoyed this show. Beatles music...........WOW soundtrack remix. Odd and wonderful. People were walking out dancing and singing. Me too!
I usually get bored with shows. Not here. Wonderful.

I've seen many Cirque shows and found LOVE to be pleasantly different. Other reviews mention the lack of acrobatics, but I found LOVE to be the best staged show in Las Vegas and did not miss any additonal tumbling.
LOVE is a 3 dimensional music video and not a big ring circus. LOVE does have acrobats, but Cirque is trying for something different with this show - a hybrid of music, dance, lighting and movement. Needless to say if you're a Beatles fan you'll be transfixed, but I think anyone will be delighted with this production.

Liked the show, if you like the Beatles you will like this. However, note Cirque du Soleil is not for everyone. Great acrobatics!

I was disappointed in LOVE due to its style over substance. I have seen and enjoyed O, Mystere and KA and am familiar with the quirkiness of Cirque du Soleil. This show was mainly dancing and not enough acrobatics. It's a very beautiful show, but I've come to expect more impressive circus-acts from Cirque. The rollerblading act had potential, but ended up being pretty dull, as were the trampoline guys with the phone booth. The music itself was great and I enjoyed the remixes, but at those prices a show should offer a few more "ooo, ahhh" moments.

The first & last songs are worth the admission. Don't bother worrying about getting nosebleed seats. we had them for $108 and they were great. The theater is small enough,you really don't miss anything and in some ways it's kinda cool looking down on some of the action below. FULL HOUSE so be sure to order in advance.
You'll be surprised at the way the mop tops are integrated into it, it's fun to watch & the crisp sound comes out of your VERY COMFORTABLE SEAT headrest. There were some songs like Eleanor Rigby that were slow and somewhat down. IMO i think it would of been better to keep the music UP-lifting. but C'est La Vie, Gotta LOVE THE BEATLES. and if you don't, save your money and don't bother going.
It's BeAtLeMaNiA! :-)

Save yourself the money and buy the CD collection of Beatles for the same money. I guess if you never saw a Cirque du Soleil show then this show might be entertaining. I've seen the 'O' show - it doesn't even come close. If the hightlight is the rollerblade guys - then that's pretty sad. I can watch that stuff on ESPN.
Don't get me wrong - the music is great but I expected more for my $120 ticket.

I do agree with another entry....this is not "O" or "Mystere" but, as a Beatle fan from the beginning, I loved the show. Sure, it's expensive. We paid $300 for our two seats, but we were right next to the stage, three rows up. We loved the show.

Fantastic show! Dick Clark and Paul Shaffer came to the same show the night we went. It truly is an amazing marriage of Cirque and the Beatles. Same wonderful chaos of a million crazy things going on once that you would expect from Cirque, plus it heightens your appreciation of the Beatles!

Just walking to the show put you in a Beatles mood. The outer entrance was really nicely done. We had good seats and I was really looking forward to the show as I am a very big Beatles fan and have been since my childhood. The show started and within the first 10 minutes it hit me that although the music was really fabulous, with speakers built into each chair back to heighten the effect, I was still watching a dance/acrobatic production. I felt the disappointment sink in and figured I'd sit through it and just enjoy the music. I even closed my eyes to rest for a while as I had been up gambling from early morning. My husband nudged me and I gave it a second chance. Before you know it I was totally stunned, things were happening that were truly amazing. By the end of the show I found myself actually teary eyed, the show brought out some sweet emotions. By the finale I found myself cheering wildly. If you love the Beatles and miss the sweetness of the Beatles see it, you won't regret it.

I have seen all of the current Cirque shows in Las Vegas, and this is the weakest of the entire group. I love the Beatles soundtrack used, but I have to admit that the acrobatics were disappointing and not up to the usual snuff that I expect from a Cirque show...
Also, it didn't help that in the middle of the performance that there was a mechanical problem with a moving floor segment that ended up delaying the show by 15 minutes. The time was poorly "covered" by the antics of a few cast members, but an unexpected "intermission" left quite a few people put off, especially since no announcement was made (for those who could not see the problem) as to why the show was on hold.
If you like Beatles music, buy the album and save your money...

Liked the music the most. The show was good but a little pricey at $165 per seat. I do understand that it costs alot to produce a show of this calibur. I most likely would not go to see this show a second time but I am glad I took the opertunity to go once. The actors did a very good job. I would suggest that if you like the Beatles go and see the show and make up your own mind.

We totally enjoyed the show...and remember you ARE paying to see acrobatics, ballet, dancing and LOVE gives you a carnival atmosphere as well. I totally enjoyed the 4 swings dropped from the ceiling as a male dancer/acrobat attempts to "catch" one or all. All 5 performers were amazing. The skaters were excellent. I didn't know where to look sometimes! We liked the switch back & forth from the Beatles voices to the musical performances!

I've seen all the Cirque shows in Las Vegas as well as several of the traveling shows in the USA and Europe. I'd rate this show as among the best of the Cirque shows. I would rank this up with Mystere and O and a step above Ka. However, if you are not a Beatles fan you will probably not enjoy it as much.
The only segment that I thought was very weak was the Blackbird "comedy" segment where the clown attempts to get the blackbirds to fly. This was not funny at all and was in fact crude and not artistic.
I disagree completely with another poster who said the boot segment had to go. This initially didn't seem to fit in. However, the seamless transformation into the Beatles music from the South African Welly boot dancing (a precursor to tap dancing) was incredibly good. For those that are uneducated about Welly boot dancing, this form of dancing was developed in Africa to parody and oppose oppressive apartheid policies and as such fitting to Lennon's legacy.
Also, both the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Octopus's Garden segments were outstanding. The beginning of the show was mind-boggling with the silhouettes of the Beatles projected on to the transparent curtains dropping and the subsequent segway into WWII bombing of Liverpool.

We got to see the "Love" show on Thursday night. The bottom line is I wouldn't break the door down to spend $120 or upwards to see this production. Perhaps it needs a lttle "tweaking", but there really is only two major stunts. 1. Theres the roller skating thing thats impressive, they didn't miss a beat and 2. the Trampolines with the phone booth, relatively entertaining. Plus theres the "pretty" Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds thing, but how many times in Vegas at any cirque type show or variety production, are there people going up bungie ropes, going up and down and woman in pretty dresses swinging around and around on trapeze swings. Its been a few days later, but all I can remember about "Love" is a controlled hysteria where people in costume were running from four entrances and exits just jumping around doing various twists and flips, holding and throwing odd cirque artifacts making the viewer dizzy. And the boot stomping thing has to go... producers are you listening? I also want to know where was the yellow submarine?? You would think they would have that rise from the center stage and run and jump around that for a few minutes wouldn't you? I must also add that when a show drops confetti on you 3x times, things aren't going too well. Where is the artistic beauty of the confetti "Allegria" blows on you from the stage during the winter scene from that production? One person, I heard saying when it was over, "wow its just like the Blue Man Group!"
Most of us wish we could have seen the Beatles or even Elvis live in concert. The Music is what it is, cuts from the albums which is edited to fit the show segments. We all know and love the music and we all wish John Lennon and George Harrison were still with us, and Love does give us a sense that their spirit is there during the show. Though entertaining, its an expensive night out with few death defying acts of skill. You would think this show wouldn't last, but I was and continue to be surprised that Zumanity continues to pack them in??, so theres millions of people out there who are going to still pay $120 each to see "Love" and pass on their own judgment. If you feel you just have to see it anyway, and you're willing to lay out the Big Bucks for this one make sure you get the orchestra seats and not the ones down in front which are even more expensive as they are too close. Important!!
My advice is to pay $150 and see KÅ, now thats quite a performance!, and money well spent. Theres no doubt that "Love" is entertaining, but I can't help feeling a little cheated. I expected more.

We loved this show, OK it`s not the typical Cirque all things acrobatically amazing routine, but it contains some of the most beautifull interpretations of the Beatles songs you could imagine. The whole cast work so incredibly hard and with such outstanding performances during such songs as "Something in the way she moves" it really can bring tears to your eyes. The music is not performed it is of course played through speakers (loudly). We were thrilled by the whole show and thought it worth the $125.00 we paid to see it.

Disappointing show. I have seen other Cirque shows, Mystere and O, and liked them very much. If you want to see performers dance, this is the show for you. If you expect a normal Cirque show go to Mystere or O.
The show also had "technical difficulties". The show stopped midway for approximately 15 minutes. They sent four of the characters out to attempt to entertain the crowd but they were eventually booed out off the floor. People were yelling at them to go home and they wanted their money back. Many people left the arena and did not return. We stayed but the remaining portion of the show was as disappointing as the first. They also must have had difficulty with whatever act they use the ramps for. They rolled them out and then rolled them back out and they were never used.
Don't waste your money. My suspicion is that many of the original reviews were written by individuals affiliated with the show. If you do go buy the $125 or $99 tickets. The $150 tickets are the equivalent of sitting in the first few rows of a movie theater.

I have to admit that I’m a bit tired of the usual Cirque show. I can do without seeing another contortionist, hand-balancing act or flying acrobat. This one was a unique show however. First, the theatre is fantastic. It’s as much of a show as the performances. The stage is in the centre and the shape of it alters throughout the show. The sound is excellent as there are speakers in the headrests of the seat. Of course, the music is very recognizable. Apparently, the show tells the story of the Beatles, but not knowing it too well myself (especially the early years) and it being a Cirque interpretation, I didn’t ‘get’ the story much. But it was simply beautiful to watch. The show comes off as more of a musical with plenty of dancing. The cast is very talented without a doubt. There are very few breaks to watch the traditional acts that Cirque seems to do. One of the few that was done was with rollerbladers on 4 ramps simultaneously skating and jumping… they made it look easy. Actually the amount of cues in this show must be phenomenal…. There is so much going on at one time. There’s no possible way to see everything. This is a show to see more than once… Very entertaining.

This new Cirque du Soleil show revolving around Beatles music is an invigorating performance. As is typical of Cirque, a lot of the symbolism is on the inscrutable side (I am fan enough that I read a summary online and thus understood it better) - but it serves the music and overarching theme well. The sound is crystal clear and the visuals, acrobatics, and dance acts are frequently exciting. It lacks the intimacy and performer/audience relationship of "Mystere", still Cirque's gold standard, but it's still worth your time if you enjoy Cirque, the Beatles, or both. (8 out of 10)

My husband and I saw Love on July 21 and loved it! What a perfect marriage of Beatles music and Cirque du Soleil. It is entertaining and innovative from start to finish. The costumes are so clever, especially in the Octopus Garden number. The performers were talented and enthusiastic throughout. This is our fourth Cirque show and by far the best. The only slightly negative comment would be that the dancing was "current," rather than dance moves from the 1960s. I'm recommending the show to everyone I know.

LOVE was excellent. My husband is not too fond of the Beatles, but he loved the show also. We would definitely go again. We sat in the front row and I think we may have missed some parts. Plenty of celebrities go to see this show, too. There were several in the audience, and before the start of the show, everyone was getting their autographs. Next time we will sit a little further back. The costumes, stunts, props, and music were all excellent. This is our favorite Cirque show (and we've seen them all).

This was by far the best show we have seen in Vegas, and we have seen a lot. We were blessed to get preview tickets for June 29th, right before the opening night. Opening night was that Friday, so we think we got a pretty good look at what the final show would look like. Friday night Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and his wife, Olivia Harrison, and Yoko Ono were all in attendance to see the by invitation only premier of the show. We didn't see them on the red carpet, we were at the Pink concert at Mandalay Bay's Beach, but saw it on the newspaper the next day. Here is what we thought of the show! The newly remodeled theater is set up so strategically that you can see things coming and going in all directions. The performers take advantage and are all over the place making sure that the audience gets to see everyone involved in the show. The sound system is phenomenal, with speakers built into the seats at your head and projecting out of the back of the seat in front of you. With the Beatles music coming at you from all directions, you will think you died and went to heaven. It simply sounds amazing. The show begins with a wonderful number that introduces you to the main characters that appear throughout the performance (Sgt. Pepper, Father McKenzie, and the four "Beatles")then just takes off from there. The performance is mainly in the air with numerous acrobatics taking place above the stage. We especially thought that the production to "Revolution" with the trampolines was excellent, the scene with the roller bladers exciting to watch, the "Blackbirds" learning to fly hilarious, the beauty of "Something" enough to make you sigh out loud, the dance scene for "Come Together" very talentedly executed, and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" so beautiful that it makes you want to cry. The use of the big screens that hang down to the stage to project the images of the Beatles on is used exceptionally well, and the images at the end are truly moving. Kids may be overwhelmed by everything that goes on during the show, but I think they would love the fast pace and the energetic music. We have seen several of the Cirque shows, and they are all different, all entertaining, and all very good in their own right, but this one is a show to see.

With all the Cirque shows in town, the music makes this one different. It is actual Beatles recordings,
rather than live music. The theatre in the round is amazing, with it's video screened walls, fantastic
sound system, including sound coming from the headrest in your seat, and the back of the headrest in
front of you, changing scenery, huge stage lifts, costumes, fog, moving curtains and scrims. There is
so much going on that it's hard to catch it all. I didn't like the first 35 minutes of the show. After that,
it was great. The show was in previews when I saw it, and I'm hoping they do something to improve
the first 35 minutes. I would go see it again.

We LOVED Love. Great show. Takes you through a history of the Beatles, beginning in Hamburg. G. Martin's influence and input was brilliant. He chose great versions of many of the songs and recordings. Beatles fans will really appreciate the show, but I am afraid others may not follow it as completely. Even if you are not a "die-hard" beatle fan, it is still a great show, with wonderful music and the Cirque's usual awesome performance.

As Beatles' fans from the 60's, we thought it was a wonderful show that not only proved the complexity and beauty of the Beatles' music and words, but also told a story of their time from their early Liverpool days through the social explosion of that decade. The speakers in the seats enveloped you in the swells of the music which, in turn, gave the visuals life. Fabulous show.

All set up and no execution. This is not what I expect from Cirque du Soleil.
The visuals and moods were fine, per normal Cirque shows, then the dancing, then nothing. I kept waiting for the shock and awe and it never came. Sound was good, but the music was a constraint rather than a tool. They had a nice stage and did some elaborate set changes, but then nothing was done with it. A big expense for minimal payoff. Not bad, but from Cirque, I expect awesome.
