The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles. Drawn from the poetry of the lyrics, LOVE explores the content of the songs in a series of scenes inhabited by real and imaginary people.
The international cast channels a raw, youthful energy underscored by aerial performance, extreme sports and urban, freestyle dance.
New acts, costumes, choreography, technology and music bring a more vibrant and engaging experience to one of the most celebrated shows in the world. The three-time Grammy Award winning LOVE is a Rock 'n' Roll poem, inspired by the poetry of the lyrics and brought to life by a cast of world-class aerialists, acrobats and dancers.
Music Director Giles Martin, son of the legendary Beatles producer, Sir George Martin, has heightened LOVE’s listening experience with a completely remixed soundtrack, noting “The show is the closest anyone can get to being in the studio with the band”.
Cast of characters includes:
Doctor Robert: A doctor of mysterious character, and not necessarily of medicine. A gracious host, he gladly supplies "tea" to unsuspecting drinkers and encourages them to take leaps of faith into new and sometimes intoxicating ventures.
The Fool: Silly yet profound, the Fool is the duality that lives in all of us. He is fun, loveable and enigmatic, and marches to his own off-beat. He is restless, yet soulful.
Groupies: The age of Rock 'n’ Roll infected no youths more than the Groupies – girls unleashed into a delirious and frantic obsession to chase boys, demonstrate lust and dance their bobby socks off.
Sailors: Evoking the ports of Liverpool, the Sailors represent both the strength of a nation and the gateway through which The Beatles were exposed to the musical influences that would ultimately shape their lives.
Acts within the show include:
Twist & Shout
The character of Sugar Plum Fairy brings the new music to the stage, infecting everyone with a new rhythm.
All You Need is Love
A montage of The Beatles projected on curtains that fill the audience with wonderful nostalgia and a message of LOVE.
Here Comes the Sun

Costumes
Philippe Guilottel, Love's costume designer, wanted to infuse the same spirit of the Beatles into the costumes for Love. Many include juxtaposed elements, such as traditional and Victorian fashions being combined with colorful, imaginative designs.
