The Beatles LOVE Ending At Mirage Las Vegas In July
“All you need is love. Love is all you need.” With the Cirque du Soleil production The Beatles LOVE ending later this year at The Mirage, it turns out Hard Rock wasn’t feeling the love after all.
The production, which premiered back in 2006, is an absolutely beautiful ‘love’ letter to the music of The Beatles. The show has been highly regarded by reviewers and the band itself, but unfortunately all of that couldn’t save it from the changes underway at the future Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas.
The Beatles LOVE Ending: We Can(‘t) Work It Out
To the educated eye, you would think Hard Rock buying The Mirage, the property with the one production dedicated to one of the best bands of all time, would have hit the gold mine. But it turns out that was a mirage.
Cirque CEO Stéphane Lefebvre told Johnny Kats at the Las Vegas Review Journal that the decision of The Beatles LOVE ending was out of Cirque’s hands. Hard Rock wants to renovate the entire place, and there will be no place for the production come July 7th. Around 230 cast members and crew will lose their jobs as a result.
This Is A Must See Show Before It Closes
You cannot be implored enough to see this show. If you’ve Ob-La-Di-ed once in your life, you must see the show. As the only production approved by The Beatles license holder Apple Corps (not to be confused with Apple,) the show brings it altogether in a way that Viva Elvis never could and Michael Jackson One gets within smelling distance of.
The show’s production is perfectly paired with a remixed soundtrack of Beatles tracks, blessed by the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
“The Long And Winding” 18 year journey of The Beatles LOVE comes to an end soon, and Las Vegas will be worse off for it.
