Beatles-themed magical mystery circus

If you've ever wanted to dive into the Octopus' Garden or meet Sgt Pepper, the creators of Love, a new Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil performance, offers a little help from their friends.

The theatrical interpretation of some 130 songs and song fragments that debuts in Los Angeles next month takes audiences through a dreamlike journey that tracks the band's career.

Show creator Dominic Champagne calls the show "a rock 'n' roll poem" that doesn't feature images of the Beatles but attempts through dance and imagery to interpret the lyrics of their songs.
