The Beatles - Love

Reviving this thread to say I loved Love and that the two bits mousepod complained of are no longer in the show.

Good work, mousepod!

I'm glad I saw the post-mousepod version. Those two items do indeed sound lame. The show I saw was nothing but one visually spectacular set-piece after another, with knock-your-socks-off sound. I enjoyed it immensely and would see it again, and recommend it.

The "history of the Beatles" concept must have been so weak that I didn't even notice it existing. The show did indeed start with the WWII Blitz that John, Paul, George and Ringo were the following generation of, and there was an intermediary bit about the screaming girl rabid fandom. But otherwise I saw nothing of The Beatles history, and experienced only free-form Cirque performance adaptations of their music.

(I interpreted the chimneys in the opening number to be the sort of Liverpool imagery employed at the start of Yellow Submarine. There was nothing that particularly indicated it was supposed to be the roof of the rooftop concert.)
