The characters whose onstage escapades (including more dance than usual for Cirque) are set to this music are drawn from both the songs of the Beatles and the social, political, and cultural world and time the group emerged from; the Beatles themselves are not portrayed onstage but their presence is always there. The story travels from the rubble of WorldWarII to the height of Beatlemania, from the initial backlash to their reinvention in the age of psychedelia. Metaphorically, the group's breakup is addressed, but so is the endurance of what they created together.

Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's nineteenth show opened in 2006. It is the fifth of their permanent productions in Las Vegas, Nevada (at the Mirage Hotel and Casino) and their first show to combine the JukeboxMusical genre with their "house style".
To say they started at the top in terms of the song catalog to tackle is quite the understatement. This show is a collaborative effort with Apple Corps Ltd, allowing not just the use of the songs of Music/TheBeatles in a show, but the original recordings of such as remixed by Sir George Martin and his son Giles.
The characters whose onstage escapades (including more dance than usual for Cirque) are set to this music are drawn from both the songs of the Beatles and the social, political, and cultural world and time the group emerged from; the Beatles themselves are not portrayed onstage but their presence is always there. The story travels from the rubble of WorldWarII to the height of Beatlemania, from the initial backlash to their reinvention in the age of psychedelia. Metaphorically, the group's breakup is addressed, but so is the endurance of what they created together.
This show, as with most of Cirque's Vegas productions, has not been filmed in full, though material from it was incorporated into the 2012 ThreeDMovie ''Film/CirqueDuSoleilWorldsAway''. There is a soundtrack album that contains the bulk of the 90-minute show's music, as well as a making-of documentary, ''All Together Now''.
Feel free to compare and contrast this show with the film ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse'' -- the 2008 Grammy Awards ceremony featured a crossover production number featuring cast members from both.
!!!This show contains examples of:
* AbbeyRoadCrossing: One sequence, via film of white silhouette figures representing the Fab Four projected onto a scrim and "dialogue" assembled from old studio chatter, whimsically culminates in the original crossing.
* AllThereInTheManual: To cut through the layers and layers of symbolism in this show, the official website (specifically, the Director's Vision and Characters pages) and program are a ''huge'' help.
* CircusOfFear: The initial backlash against the Beatles -- particularly the "bigger than Jesus" controversy in the U.S. -- is depicted as this, featuring the CreepyCircusMusic that is "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!"...which is pushed further into darkness when it segues into a combination of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Helter Skelter".
* ConfettiDrop: Confetti is dropped during both the opening and closing stretches of the show. (These drops are in addition to the "poppy petals" that are sent drifting into the audience during "Hey Jude".)
* CostumePorn: 1960s pop art is brought to life and pushed even further into whimsy...
* CrosscastRole: To give her a caricatured appearance, Her Majesty is played by a man.
* TheElevenOClockNumber: "Hey Jude".
* TheEveryman: The four "Nowhere Men" who are the central onstage characters.
* TheFool (as in "on the Hill"): One of the characters, in those exact words. His description at the official website could be a paraphrase of the trope description itself: "He exudes happiness even in the darkest hours, lightening everyone’s spirits and showing them beauty in an absurd world."
* JukeboxMusical: One crossbred with the circus medium, and with the original recordings used rather than live performers.
* LargeHam: Mr. Piggy -- not surprising, given his name.
* MoralGuardians: Represented by Mr. Piggy (the only onstage speaking character), who looks down upon the Beatles and what ''they'' represent.
* MushroomSamba: "Strawberry Fields Forever" is presented as this. The specific substance served up to the Nowhere Men is tea, but the metaphor is quite intentionally transparent.
* NumerologicalMotif: The number in question, of course, is four. The showroom layout is similar to a theater-in-the-round, but the stage has four sides and four ground-level entrance ramps for performers. Major and minor characters that come in groups of four include the Nowhere Men, Children of Liverpool, Nurses, blackbirds, astronauts, etc.
* {{Retool}}: This show was a hit out of the gate, but there have been some tweaks made to it. A "Blackbird"-inspired comic skit in which Dr. Robert tries to get four blackbirds airborne again was widely panned, so (seemingly as soon as possible) it was dropped and replaced with a low-key transition using the actual song. A procession of characters across the stage was also added to the "Because" prologue.
* RuleOfThree (or [[FourIsDeath Four]]): A white VW beetle shows up several times, and the last time it appears [[spoiler: it hits the woman in red who represents John Lennon's mother, "kills" her and bursts apart]].
