The Film
All Together Now is a feature-length documentary chronicles the making
of The Beatles' LOVE by Cirque du Soleil. The film details the story
behind the unique partnership between The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil
that resulted in the creation and launch of LOVE and the double
Grammy-winning album of the same name. The film is dedicated to the
memory of Neil Aspinall, an Executive Producer.
All Together Now faithfully recounts how the LOVE project came into
being, borne from the personal friendship between George Harrison and
Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. George saw how the twin talents
of Cirque's artistry and The Beatles' music could be fused into
something new and totally original.
The director, Adrian Wills, records early meetings between the Cirque &
Apple Corps Ltd. creative teams, as well as contributions from Sir Paul
McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison discussing
how The Beatles' music can be used in a different way. We hear about
the decision to utilize the combined talents of Sir George Martin and
his son Giles Martin to produce what became a 90-minute soundscape
created from The Beatles' multi-track recordings and how this new
audio adventure was being quietly worked on in the famous Abbey Road
Studios in London, England whilst the first creative ideas for the show
were being formulated in Montreal, Canada.
These early stages of the project were all filmed, as were the first
rehearsals at the Mirage Hotel theatre in Las Vegas, which was
completely rebuilt with a one-of-a-kind sound system and complex round
staging to house the LOVE show. George and Giles Martin, the show's
Musical Directors, were involved every step of the way with the
remarkable Cirque du Soleil creative team, performers and backroom
staff.
It wasn't all "plain-sailing" and there has been no attempt to disguise
some of the disagreements that took place along the way regarding how
some of the songs would be portrayed visually. These creative
differences, a necessary part of the overall process of bringing LOVEto
its most vibrant life, illustrate the participants' love and respect
for the music and vision of The Beatles.
The All Together Now documentary provides fascinating insight into the
creative skills and passion that went into making this project a
groundbreaking critical and commercial success.
