A joint venture between Cirque and the Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd, it was the first theatrical production with which Apple Corps Ltd. partnered. Love was written and directed by Dominic Champagne. George Martin, producer of nearly all of the Beatles' records, and his son, record producer Giles Martin, were credited as music directors. A soundtrack album of the show was released in November 2006.
On April 10, 2024, Cirque du Soleil announced that the show was ending with a final performance on July 7, Ringo Starr’s 84th birthday. The Mirage will be redeveloped as a Hard Rock Cafe hotel and casino reopening in 2027. The Love Theatre will not be rebuilt in the new hotel, and no plans have been announced to reboot Love elsewhere.[1]
