Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, so... having now seen 4 or 5 Cirque shows (at least 2 tours, maybe 3, La Nouba and now Love), I have a new favorite. Given, my Mom raised me on The Beatles so I was predisposed to loving this show, especially since I've had the soundtrack for it since the day it came out.... That said, I think this show was just INCREDIBLE! So much so that later this year or early next year I'll be taking my Mom to Vegas to see it. From the moment the first three gentlemen came out to the moment the last performer left the stage, I was spellbound. My seat was in the front row so that was a bit of a bummer since it's Cirque, but I'm glad I got to do a Cirque show in the front row at least once in my life. I really liked the different acts that took place and the way the songs wove together into a storyline centered around a young man trying to find love. As always with a Cirque show, I was greatly impressed by the talent and athleticism of the performers. The production quality was EXCELLENT, of course, and I'll be honest with you - from the first strains of music to about 15 minutes in and then then last 10 minutes or so, I was seeing things through tears - being there was just such a wonderful, magical experience for me I couldn't help but cry. I definitely will be back to Vegas in the future to see the other shows, but first priority for me is getting my beloved Mom to Vegas to see this show. WOW. Oh, one really neat thing I liked a lot - the bit where the fab Four are onstage in spotlights playing with sounds - that was neat. As was the parachute!

Originally Posted By Labuda Yep - next time I see Love, I plan to be in the 200 sections - being in front row of a 100 section once was nice, but I want to see more without having to crane my neck so much.
Originally Posted By Rsey103 Nice review of Love, Labuda. I've heard only good things about it. (How are the fab four on stage? Through film...or actors playing them?) So it's OVO and not EVO?..
Originally Posted By Labuda the Fab four are on via animation and film and images of old times - but the part I mentioned about them playing with sounds is animation and voiceovers...
Originally Posted By kennect labuda, What I love most about the Love show is hearing the cd for the first time...It is like listening to all new music from the Beatle's even though you have heard it all before...They did an amazing job of taking all of those tracks and editing them in a way that it all sounds so fresh and new.. I would be curious if you have any comments to make about the sound system/whatever for the show...Speakers in the seats or am I wrong?
Originally Posted By Labuda ken - there were no speakers in the seats - and as a sound op, I'm certain I'd have noticed them if they were there. Some to think of it, I am not sure WHERE I saw speakers - there's a chance there may have been some under some of the seating, I suppose, but I'd more expect they were up at ceiling level... check back with me after the next time I go to Vegas and see this show again. hehehe
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, and about the soundtrack - yep, when I first heard it, I was FLOORED. Very nicely done!
Originally Posted By kennect Well, Now that OVO is up an running I am reading some really bad things about the show...It seems that Cirque is having trouble these days putting together a really good touring show...Seems as if they have lost their interest in their main core product...It will be interesting to see what happens with this show between now and the official premiere....
Originally Posted By kennect Well the bright spot seems to be that the acts themselves aren't bad but the overall production has no focus... I love this though...I saw my doctor yesterday and threw him the bit that I worked Kooza while it was in town...He is not a Cirque fan but he has seen a couple of their shows...O and KA...He hated both...That really threw me, I would have thought he would at least have had the ability to enjoy either of them to some degree...Apparently he didn't...Best part of him being my doc is this....He is a huge Disney fan....

The show has received mixed reviews and I don't think it's one of Cirque's more successful shows. But they've played two seasons in NYC and are coming back for a third... What's the real story there?
