Cirque announced that the show housed at the Mirage will end on July 7, part of the iconic hotel-casino's major renovation plan to rebrand itself into the Hard Rock Las Vegas.
Stéphane Lefebvre, CEO of the Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, said in a statement that more than 11.5 million people have seen the show — an energetic portrayal of the Fab Four's history and music with aerial stunts and whimsical dance numbers on a colorful, 360-degree stage, the Chigago Sun reports.
The production premiered in the summer of 2006, with red carpet appearances by both McCartney and Starr, as well as Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, wife of the late Beatle George Harrison. They reunited a year later to celebrate the show's first anniversary.

Country really does it best when it comes to storytelling through song — imagine seeing those stories and emotions come alive as they're performed by live musicians and singers. It brings another layer of authenticity and energy to the production.
From heartbreak to love, good times and bad times, celebration, and friendship, our song choices are a reflection of the human experience in all its complexity...It will be a celebration of the evolution of country music and we aim to showcase the authenticity of the genre and how it has evolved over time.”-Cirque du Soleil CEO Stéphane Lefebvre tells Billboard.
