All good things must come to an end, after an eighteen year run, the iconic Beatles Love by Cirque Du Soleil at The Mirage in Las Vegas is coming to an end on July 7th.
The closure of The Beatles Love comes as The Mirage is being transformed into the Hard Rock Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The current construction will affect the location being used by the Cirque Du Soleil show, this follows the construction activity that began in December which resulted in the demolition of the Siegfried & Roy Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat.
Tickets to performances through June 29 are on sale now at cirquedusoleil.com/beatles-love. Tickets for the final week of performances in July will be available in the coming weeks.
Created as the result of a friendship between Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté and George Harrison, The Beatles LOVE is a cultural icon on the Las Vegas Strip, having entertained Beatles fans across multiple generations and more than 500 musicians and celebrities. The collaboration combining the legendary music of The Beatles and the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, a first for both creative entities, has brought together Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, and Olivia Harrison several times to celebrate the show’s gala premiere and milestone anniversaries.
Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group CEO Stéphane Lefebvre said:
The Beatles LOVE has been seen by more than 11.5 million guests since opening in 2006.
It’s been an honor for all of us at Cirque du Soleil to collaborate with The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. on what can only be described as a masterpiece. We are grateful to the creators, cast, crew and all involved in bringing this show to life and we know The Beatles LOVE will live on long after the final bow.
The Beatles LOVE soundtrack, produced and mixed by the Beatles’ original producer George Martin and his son Giles Martin, is Cirque du Soleil’s first and only GRAMMY®-winning soundtrack. George and Giles Martin worked with the entire archive of Beatles recordings to create the soundscape for LOVE, utilizing 130 songs to create the 26-track soundtrack.
