Cirque du Soleil - Love

This could have been a "1". Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Didn't. The music is *incredible*, and not just because it is The Beatles. The creativity of the remix and the stereo experience is a true feat of genius. The scenic design is superbly complex. The show itself has awe-inspiring moments. (When "Good Night" popped from the darkness, tears almost came to my eyes.) ...but there are also a few superfluous, unoriginal numbers. Too many dancing galoshes. The trampoline act is the same as the skater act (which was cool, but not enough for a reprise). The other Cirque show I saw years ago was much more gymnastic/ athletic and varied. I hear that they tweak all the time, though, and I'd see it again (if I were rich). Rated 2-
