Roy Horn will make an emotional return to the scene of the October 2003 tiger attack. A spokesman for Siegfried & Roy confirmed on Saturday that the iconic illusionists will be attending the June 30 premiere of "Love", the Cirque du Soleil-Beatles whow at The Mirage. A complete makeover of the theater has rendered it unrecognizable from the days of Siegried & Roy's 13-year run ath The Mirage. It figures to be a highly charged evening, with Siegfried & Roy re-entering their former theater and surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr making a rare public appearance together. Horn will have mixed feelings, it will be emotional said their spokesman Dave Kirvin, going back to the theater where the tiger mauled and dragged him offstage- to watching The Beatles re-inacted ;)

The Mirage opens the curtain tonight on a new Beatles era. Early buzz suggests it could be a dazzling magic carpet ride, even for a city that's seen everything. "Love "Cirque du Soleil's" much anticipated collaboration with The Beatles begins a four-week preview run before the June 30 gala premiere. The jaw dropping segment, from the raves I'm hearing, is the bubble scene during "Strawberry Fields Forever" During a media preview 10 days ago, the accompanying video for it was not the real deal. The producers were holding back some of their theatrical firepower. In the scene, a piano rises from below the stage. near the end of the segment Cirque characters remove liquid from the top of the piano and fill the theater with stunning bubbles. Another highlight is the "Octopus's Garden" segment when the characters put a large drape and it steals the scene the audience looks like it's being sucked into the stage opening
