"I have to admit...it's getting better...it's getting better...all the time." Unfortunately for us, the LOVE Cirque didn't follow the Beatles tune quite THAT closely. It started out good...the opener is a showstopper, but then didn't really get better. This is a bit of a different-type of Cirque. It's got Cirquelike elements, and there are some seriously spectacular numbers, like their opening and last 2 closing numbers, and a few in the middle like Here Comes the Sun and then the fun Baby You Can Drive my Car...but other than that, they could have made it so much better than it is. There are SO many Beatles songs to choose from... even I know that, and I am not even a real Beatles fan...and they chose some random slow ones that just did not work with the dance and character numbers they paired them with. And the slow contemporary, reflective dance numbers in gauzy white linen?? Hello, I can see that on So You Think You Can Dance for free. Give me WAY more fun, jazzy, crazy Idontknowwheretolookrightnow numbers that are going to keep me from zzzz'ing during a 10pm show. I admit to nodding off for a few minutes here and there as did the gal pals who were with me, so it wasn't just me being a tired old lady. Not on my absolute 'must see' list for Vegas, but if you get stuck there in a pinch, it's a fairly entertaining 1.5 hours for $110. Not sure about the ROI...kinda expensive for balcony seats though we had a good view. BUT, gotta give props since it's a Cirque and the actors and dancers are seriously talented regardless of the choreography. The music was also awesome piped in super loud and jazzed up with some modern beats that worked.
