LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — As part of The Mirage's upcoming transformation, one of the properties live shows will close this summer.

The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil production will end its run on July 7 as the resort shifts to becoming the Hard Rock Las Vegas.

Celebrating its 18th anniversary this year, The Beatles LOVE was created as the result of a friendship between Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté and George Harrison. The collaboration combining the legendary music of The Beatles and the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, a first for both creative entities, has brought together Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison several times to celebrate the show’s gala premiere and milestone anniversaries.

“The Beatles LOVE has been seen by more than 11.5 million guests since opening in 2006,” said Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group CEO Stéphane Lefebvre. “It’s been an honor for all of us at Cirque du Soleil to collaborate with The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. on what can only be described as a masterpiece. We are grateful to the creators, cast, crew and all involved in bringing this show to life and we know The Beatles LOVE will live on long after the final bow.”

1. Sad to see it go!

I always wanted to see it but was never able to make the trip.

2. I was lucky enough to see it twice.

Paul, Ringo and Yoko were there the second time. They waved to everyone.

3. Maybe . . .

. . . they'll finally record and release to DVD the full show. Only way I'll ever get to see it.

4. There are DVDs and CDs, but yeah it'd be great.

5. The only "DVD" I know of -

- is described as having no visual content, audio only. I remember having seen a short video the subject of which was how they put the show together, with G & G at the sound board, interviews with surviving members and spouses, CdS rehearsals - that sort of content. If you know of another containing audio/visual of the actual show, I would appreciate if you would please post a link.
