The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil

Sir Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono & Sean Lennon, Olivia & Dhani Harrison, Sir George & Giles Martin, along with Cirque du Soleil president & CEO Daniel Lamarre, LOVE director Dominic Champagne and artistic guide Gilles St-Croix, joined celebrity friends and family in Las Vegas for the 5th Anniversary celebration of The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil.

Ringo Starr is currently on tour in Europe and sent a video message that was played at the top of the show for more than 2,000 attendees.

Ringo Starr said, “George Harrison and Guy Laliberte had a chat at a party and it’s still rolling on. I feel like it’s one of those magic moments. George, who brought the idea to Apple, would have been pleased with the results and I truly think John would have, too. I mean, what’s not to like, it’s a really cool show.”
