This show is incredibly high paced and high energy. with a number of song and dance numbers this brings out more of the traditional show you think of when you think of theater, at least for me. This is a classic musical experience with dancing performers in almost every role. Mamma Mia! features allot of the music from and similar to the music released by ABBA, if you enjoyed the music ABBA you may find it difficult to stay in your seat. Getting up and dancing around to the show is not only tolerated it is promoted, this is a show like no other offering an experience like no other.
Before the beginning of Mamma Mia! an announcer gracefully warns the audience that the following show will feature platform boots, white spandex and feathers in the event that an audience member might not be able to handle such an event. The show tells a story of a young lady who goes through a life changing journey trying to find her father in the days before her wedding.
Overall a great show and recommended for anyone looking for a family friendly show.

Cirque du Soleil has created a great experience filled with acrobatics, visual effects, and dance in a way only Cirque du Soleil could, through the production of LOVE. The show LOVE is set to allot of classic rock and roll as the ongoing soundtrack and gives the audience a very uplifting feeling. As a Beatles fan I think that this is one of the great shows that are currently available on the Strip now. However even though the Cirque du Soleil show does indeed feature several Beatles songs it is in no way meant to be a greatest hits show.
This Cirque du Soleil show was created in collaboration with the remaining Beatles and some of the family members of the band. LOVE takes it’s audience on a journey that visits the Beatles farewell concert as well a Liverpool in the midst of World War 2 in a time when the band members were just children. Cirque du Soleil aerial ballet is accompanied by a soundtrack consisting of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “Octopus’s Garden” in a stunning display of what can only be translated as possibly drug induced.
One of the best parts of LOVE is the Jam session that features authentic recordings from the four different band members, something to remember and appreciate is that all of the music in the show is from actual recordings of The Beatles Abbey Road studio.
