If you ask Kierra Demouchet who her favorite Beatle is, she says, “George Harrison. He was kind of the glue that held the band together. He was also the most levelheaded.” As a sales associate at The Beatles Shop at The Mirage, Demouchet is surrounded by all things Beatles and all things Cirque du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE.
Demouchet grew up in Virginia, and it’s also where she went to college and then began a career in day care services. A little more than two years ago, she decided she needed a complete change, so she packed up her car and moved to Las Vegas, sight unseen. While she started off working again in child care shortly after she arrived, she eventually landed her current job.
“I never knew I’d know this much about The Beatles, but I love it,” she says. She also loves the show (which she’s seen eight times so far) and she loves welcoming guests into the world of the band and Cirque’s celebration of the music. “I assist in helping the guest with their experience,” Demouchet says. “I can talk to them and feel their excitement and I can continue that experience.”
She’s become very familiar with the Beatles musical catalog and the history of the band, too, but she also loves hearing new facts and stories from her customers, many of whom are both huge Beatles fans and fans of the show.
“The show is very bright and high energy. If you’re looking for something that’s gonna uplift you, you’re going to be on cloud 15 once you see the show. You’re gonna want to take a small souvenir home, so you can say ‘I saw The Beatles LOVE and it was amazing.’”
