Editors Picks for Best Show:

Love

Let it be known that the VT staff is not huge fans of Cirque du Soleil. We find their snobby faux-artiste attitudes to be nauseating. Cirque's ever-present over saturation at all MGM Mirage properties is overwhelmingly annoying. But we love the Beatles (who dosen't). Adding the two together may seem like a good idea on paper, but in our eyes it's a recipe for disaster - bastardization of the Beatles' deep catalog so a bunch of corporate artist types can make a delicious profit off of misfit acrobats.

With all these reasons to hate Cirque du Soleil, it's hard to like Love. But after seeing it, and absorbing its mash-up sound track CD how can one not? Our one main criticism of Love is the same criticism Paul McCartney had Ð maybe it doesn't go FAR OUT ENOUGH. Maybe someday Cirque will do a Fear and Loathing Musical. That would be something to behold.
