Las Vegas isn’t really the place you think of when you think the Beatles. More than likely, the vivid imagery they painted with their albums is what pops into your head, and maybe a few snapshots in and around England to complete the picture. When I heard that the Beatles Cirque du Soleil was giving the Beatles a makeover and was turning their old hits into a circus act, I couldn’t wait to see it. And, the more I thought about the prospect of Las Vegas being the home to all of this excitement and tomfoolerly, the more I realized why they chose Las Vegas over somewhere like Dallas, Texas for instance.

I promise, from first hand experience, that the show is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. The best way to describe it is to imagine a group of twenty or so people dressed up in clown costumes, doing acrobatics across a fifty foot stage, all while John Lennon and Paul McCartney belt out your favorite Beatles songs. My friend said “It’s like an acid trip while completely sober.” The Beatles show is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting to head right back in to see it again when you’re finished.
