The DVD also includes three bonus features: "Changing The Music," which reveals how the show's musical directors, George and Giles Martin, created the "Love" soundscape from original Beatles' recording sessions; "Music In The Theatre," a look at the process of creating "Love's" audio design; and "Making 'Love'," a backstage exploration of the show's design including the art direction, costumes, props, screen imagery and the use of The Beatles' voices in the stage production and soundtrack.
