Caveat - I grew up listening strictly to oldies. Specifically, the Beatles. I've owned every Fab Four album and can sing along with any song. Needless to say, I was completely bowled over with this show. \n\nTrue, this Cirque show is different than others. The focus is equally on the music as it is on the acrobatic feats, and for many Cirque-lovers, that might not cut it. But if you love Cirque AND The Beatles, there is really nothing better. The music and moves are so artfully and remarkably paired that it is non-stop amazing-ness from the thrilling moment it begins until this sad moment it ends.\n\nSo many people have already summed up this show beautifully, so let me conclude with my favorite acts:\n1) For the Benefit of Mr. Kite - amazing circus tricks, particularly the dude at the very top on the big hamster wheel thing. I was on the edge of my seat for the entirety hoping and praying he wouldn't fall to his death because those feats he performed were just too incredible. \n\n2) HELP - with the roller skaters! so, so, so much fun.\n\n3) Octopus' Garden - whimsical and lovely, loved the giant floating jellyfish.\n\n4) Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - any act with the aerial silks is just beautiful, but this one really was the most magnificent display of elegance.\n\nI sat in the back row but the surround-seating layout of the theatre made it seem like a very intimate performing area, so don't be disappointed if those are the only seats you can score.
