As rose petals rained down and the applause grew to a deafening, almost inconceivable roar, cast and crew members of The Beatles Love joined hands and took a bow, concluding a historic 18-year run at The Mirage on July 7.

“Some people may feel it’s a bit of a bittersweet moment tonight,” Cirque du Soleil CEO Stéphane Lefebvre said onstage on Sunday. “But those who’ve worked on creating this masterpiece over time, did it celebrating peace, joy, happiness and love. And tonight…that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

One of Cirque Du Soleil’s most popular musical productions—and the only licensed Beatles production in the world—Love went out in a blaze of confetti and circus-bred glory.
