When Craig headed to make-up Keith and I took off to grab a bite to eat. We took in the sights as we trolled around the Mirage, then we made our way back to the theater. Once seated by the charming English crossing guard, we sat anxiously awaiting the show to begin. Craig was filling the role of Sergeant Pepper, normally cast to play the role of Her majesty. I’ve always been a Beatles fan… As a child it was generally a happy time when my mother would put on their music and we would freestyle, dancing and singing along.

The show opened with a captivating symphony of a time that would surely change. It was a visual spectacle. The plot was loosely tied along the environment in which the Beatles grew up, nurturing the musical revolution they would inspire. The music was brilliantly coordinated to the theatrics accompanied with astounding dance and acrobatics. The show was a visual ecstasy; it took me through all states of awe. It was a balance of life and love and more than anything peace.

On the way out Craig called us to join the cast backstage for buffet. Still in a state of bliss, we happily ate and kicked it with Craig and friends. They didn’t have much time before their next performance, so we said good-bye and headed back to Hurricane.
