Set in the glamorous
world of Golden Age Hollywood, this ground-breaking event spins the tale of
a beautiful young actress forced to choose between love and fame. PARAMOUR
seamlessly blends a romantic plotline, musical numbers and exuberant dancing
with heart-pounding acrobatics to create a journey of unprecedented depth
and dimension. Featuring a cast that brings together the world’s best circus
and Broadway artists, PARAMOUR transports you to a world of sublime
beauty and emotion as it walks the exhilarating tightrope of the heart.
PARAMOUR is a landmark production for Cirque du Soleil.
The show will has many of the elements beloved on Broadway: a book-driven
love story narrative, live musicians, and professional actors in lead roles; but
with the Cirque du Soleil aesthetic integrated throughout the show: visionary
production design on a grand scale, world class entertainment, and acrobatic
feats that defy the imagination.
President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil, Daniel Lamarre, said: “Cirque du Soleil
and Broadway are two forms of artistic entertainment that have pushed the
boundaries of what audiences expect from live performance. With Cirque du Soleil
Theatrical, we are thrilled to be joining the Broadway community and we are proud
to have our Cirque du Soleil family perform in the same neighborhood as so many
other talented Broadway artists.”
President and Managing Director of Cirque du Soleil Theatrical Scott Zeiger
said, “Bringing PARAMOUR to Broadway is the culmination of years of work,
planning, and countless creative discussions. The PARAMOUR creative team,
led by our remarkable director Philippe Decouflé, have designed the show
specifically for the Lyric Theatre, and it is the perfect fit for the incredible
experience we have in store. I am certain that our audiences will be surprised
and delighted by our vision for the production.”
