The man behind 'Love'

Guy Laliberte, who hatched the idea for "Love" with George Harrison, and developed it after Harrison's death in 2001, says one of the most touching stories in its development was related to him by Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow.

"She said forget what all the tabloids said about breaking up. These people together brought a whole generation of love and hope and people should ask themselves if they think that in '69 when 'Abbey Road' happened, this is the sound of fighting. 'Abbey Road' was their last project and if you listen to it, how can you believe there was anything but love between all of them. It was … their last project, born out of love between them."

He says it's that "love" that drives everything in the show. There are 27 songs and 130 Beatles' bits, samples and sounds.
