Love was a 2006 theatrical production by Cirque du Soleil which combined the re-produced and re-imagined music of the Beatles with an interpretive, circus-based artistic and athletic stage performance.

On April 10, 2024, Cirque du Soleil announced that the show was ending with a final performance on July 7, Ringo Starr’s 84th birthday.

Three years of negotiations between surviving band members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Beatles widows Olivia Harrison (representing George Harrison) and Yoko Ono (representing John Lennon), as well as Beatles' holding company Apple Corps Ltd. and the Mirage culminated in an agreement.

The first executive producer was Neil Aspinall, then-manager of Apple Corps Ltd. Dominic Champagne shared show concept creator credit with Gilles Ste-Croix (a founder of Cirque).

The group unveiled a plaque at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas in memory of John Lennon and George Harrison.

The experience allowed visitors to see the backstage wings, training rooms, costume workshop, and break area and go up to a catwalk into the sound and lighting booths.

[3][4] Leading up to the show's 10th anniversary in July 2016, producers updated the production, making changes to imagery, costumes, and acts, as well as adding and removing some music.

[6][7] Created by French designer Jean Rabasse, the Love Theatre at the Mirage housed 6,351 speakers and 2,013 seats set around a central stage.

High-definition projectors also created enormous images (designed by Francis Laporte) on four translucent screens that could be unfurled to divide the auditorium.

[citation needed] The loose story of the production traced the Beatles' biography in broad strokes from the Blitz through the band's founding and climb into superstardom, their psychedelic and spiritual works, and their break-up in 1970.

Pepper, a central figure, encountered such characters as Lucy in the Sky, Eleanor Rigby, Lady Madonna, and Mr. Kite.

Many of the original Abbey Road Studios recording session tapes were re-orchestrated and inspired the show's dance, acrobatics, visual and theatrical effects.
