This is the musical story of how four guys went from the mean streets of Newark, N.J., to the heights of pop stardom. Full of sensational performances and tunes from the American songbook, “Jersey Boys” is built for baby boomers, but will thrill their kids too. The Broadway-style show is all about the music of the Four Seasons, but the cinematic staging and period wardrobe are without equal. Microphones sprout from the stage between the capable actors’ speaking parts just in time to receive their sweet vocals, delivered in perfect harmony. When this journey through the Four Seasons’ hits — “Walk Like a Man,” “Sherry,” and “Oh, What a Night,” just to name a few — is through, you’ll be emulating Frankie Valli’s soaring falsetto for days to come.

One of Cirque’s newer installations on the Strip, “Love” is an exhilarating romp through the music and era of the Beatles. Even the most doctrinaire Fab Five fan will appreciate the big bear hug these incredible aerialists and dancers give to the Beatles’ lives, lyrics and music. Performed in the round with dozens and dozens of colorful characters, “Love” is almost too much entertainment to take in during just one viewing. The beautiful, layered images of people and themes plucked straight from the Beatles’ catalog are enhanced by awe-inspiring sound and video. The songs in the show, reinterpreted and remixed using classic and unreleased sound clips, are piped through more than 6,340 speakers. The unconventional tribute has the full endorsement of the remaining Beatles and family members of the deceased members, who collaborated with the creator of “Love” to bring the show to market. Sheer joy is the dominant emotion among audience members at “Love,” but there’s also a tinge of sadness as the show pays testament to the band’s unrivaled talent and enduring cultural impact.

Penn & Teller’s long-running show at the Rio is unlike any other in Vegas. It’s a magic show designed for the thinking person. Although it is chock-full of jaw-dropping tricks and stunts, as you might expect, it is also a send-up of the business of illusion-making, with plenty of wit and wisdom. You’ll recognize the two principals — the tall and silver-tongued Penn Jillette and short and silent Teller — from a host of TV appearances including on their own Showtime program, “Bullshit!” The fast-paced show is stitched together rather seamlessly by a soundtrack of jazz and Jillette’s incessant patter. The bits are simultaneously hilarious and stunning, and you’ll be pondering some of the more complex illusions for hours afterward. In one memorable “trick,” the two perform the age-old ruse with plastic cups and pingpong balls, but with a spectacular twist: The cups are clear. These two sleight-of-hand savants have been performing together for decades, and it’s clear that some of their material took years to perfect. But for us, the most impressive stunt came after the show, when Penn & Teller scrambled out to the lobby to graciously press the flesh with audience members and pose for pictures.

How do you describe the three-dimensional art of a Cirque du Soleil show? The beauty, wonder and attention to detail are almost beyond words. “Mystere” was the French-Canadian troupe’s first permanent spectacle on the Strip, and in 15 years it has barely aged. Many fans swear it’s still the best. When “Mystére” debuted at TI in 1993, it set a new standard by which all other Vegas productions would be judged. A re-imagining of the classic Big Top circus show, it is an engrossing assemblage of puppetry, dance, acrobatics and live orchestra music. But the hallmark of the show is its humor, with some jokes coming at the expense of fellow audience members. The high jinks begin before the official start time, so be sure to get to your seat early.
