"LOVE" IS PRETTY COOL! It starts in the Boxoffice. Lots of polished chrome, mirrors,
silver slot machines with red leather armrests, a glowing glass Union Jack cieling, enhanced and illuminated
white floor that leads you to the Showroom, and then..................the stairs!
Lots and lots of stairs. Stairs to the Showroom, more stairs down to your seats................
more stairs AGAIN if you're sitting in the front and only 1 handrail on the side...not down
the middle like in many Theatres. I saw some older folks having a bit of a hard time navigating.

I was 1st Row, Section 209...one of the upper/back sections. The large wall video screens
are behind Sections 207,209,208,202,200,201. I recommend these sections so you view
both the Show and screens while looking streight ahead.
From the other 200 Series Sections, you'll look Left or Right to view the BIG screens.
ANY seat in the upper sections will be very good seats!

4 other large retractable screens appear throughout the Show for different scenes/songs....
....or should I say 'colauges'. They sometimes lay the music of one song over the lyrics
of another...AND IT WORKS! Some use just instrument tracks, some just acapella.

George Martin must have had the tape recorders rolling every minute 'the boys' were in
the studio, because he's got everything down on tape and uses it throughout the Show.

The thing you might have to remind yourself of (I did), is the Creators objective was to
surround you/invelope you, in BEATLES MUSIC from different erras.
They've created the CHARACTORS/IMAGES the song lyrics represent...
All you need is love, love is everything.

I never saw (in my mind) the terrible distruction and desperation during the bombing of
Liverpool during the war: example, ELENORE RIGBY.

"LOVE" is very different from all the other CIRQUE Shows.
It's a very young male/female cast, great costumes and sets...more choreographed dance
numbers than in other CIRQUE Shows...there's acrobats and aerial artists, but it's done
a bit differently...it's done to the music of The BEATLES and it's VERY COOL!
NOTE:
The 'down front' 100 Series Sections are very close to the stage (and it's high up)...too close for me. Your view of the stage starts at nose level for the First Row and you'll be
looking streight up at the aerials. Sections 107,108,101,102 might have a hard time seeing
the video screens on the far side of the Theatre too...don't know, wasn't sitting there
and won't the next time I see "LOVE" either.

Thanks for the review. This sounds like a show I would enjoy. I do enjoy Beatles music and hope to see this show on my next trip.
