...does no disservice to the new production to say that it's a Beatles show every bit as much as a Cirque show. The music still enthralls; the visuals ornament it beguilingly. Champagne has come near to achieving the impossible: create a new nostalgia. A decade from now, some oldster may be weeping in the Mirage theater, remembering the night when he first saw, heard and felt Love...
