Pictures and video's from the premiere:
All you need is Love - and some Beatles nostalgia
The surviving Beatles and their families put aside their differences to appear alongside each other at the premiere of a Las Vegas show celebrating their music.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr joined Yoko Ono on the red carpet for the first night of Love, a surrealistic portrayal of the band's career, performed by Cirque du Soleil. The event, at the Siegfried and Roy Theatre in the Mirage Hotel on Friday, chronicled a deconstructed musical trip through the Fab Four's past. John Lennon's widow Yoko, wearing a large white hat and matching pantsuit, drew loud cheers from fans. She later posed for photographs with Paul McCartney, with whom she had a well-publicised rift for a number of years. She said: "All this time when I was working on this show in the rehearsals, I thought, 'Oh, John should be here.' "He would have enjoyed it so much."
Olivia Harrison, the widow of George Harrison, spoke over her shoulder as she was whisked past a crowd. "I hope he (George) would like it."
Love is a dance and acrobatic spectacle filled with characters from their songs.
The show, which is expected to run for 10 years, is set to a soundscape made of parts of songs, outtakes and fragments of sound, created by the group's longtime producer George Martin and his son, Giles. When asked what Lennon would make of the production, Mr Martin said: "If he saw the show, he'd probably say, 'Yeah, but it could be better'."
