Checking in with: Sam Trego/ Imagination Entertainment As They Celebrate The Beatles

-
August 23, 1964: 18,700 hysterical fans packed the sold-out Hollywood Bowl to experience the very first Beatles outdoor concert in the USA. Sam Trego's iL CiRCo is celebrating the 50th anniversary with a fresh take on Beatles Mania!

After all, 50 years after the British Invasion, the Beatles songbook is as relevant as ever.  Paul McCartney is touring the world and Ringo Starr just dropped a new album.

Janet: "I absolutely LOVE Cirque de Soleil's Beatles show in Las Vegas and iL CiRCo has done a great job capturing the essence of it and bringing it to events and stages of all sizes!"

Producer Amy Gale: "This production is a work of passion for us. We all grew up listening to the Beatles. Their music truly spans the globe and generations. We have had the privilege of performing the show several times this year. Every audience was thrilled - regardless of age and geography. For us, it is so much fun to perform to this incredible music in our psychedelically colorful costumes. This show really works magic for everyone. We have done a few configurations of the show this year from a full big show in Las Vegas to General Session openers."

Sam Trego added: “The first thing we considered when writing this show was the music.  You have to tread carefully when re-imagining classics such as “Lucy In the Sky” and “Get Back”.  We are very proud of the results of writing and arranging the musical score."

Please check out the video!

Janet: "The fact that this show can be configured for so many different applications enables us to suggest it to many of our clients. The Beatles are a truly universal favorite and their music works for everyone. Combined with the currently extremely popular circus arts, it's a sure hit. In these difficult times, as we get bombarded with horrific world news, the Beatles enduring spirit of peace and love inspires me even more!"
"All you need is love, love. 
Love is all you need."

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
