Après être venu plusieurs fois à New-York lors de tournées (Zarkana, Totem, etc…), c’est la première fois que le Cirque du Soleil crée une comédie musicale spécialement pour Broadway. Mélangeant subtilement l’extravagance d’un show de Vegas et la sensibilité des musicals américains , Paramour est une production atypique qui tente de joindre deux publics aux attentes différentes.
Genèse: Paramour was Cirque du Soleil's first resident musical theatre show at the Lyric Theatre on Broadway, New York City. Paramour was themed to the "Golden age of Hollywood" and followed the life of "a poet who is forced to choose between love and art". It had similar elements to Cirque du Soleil's retired Los Angeles resident show in Iris (which was also themed on cinema) written and created by Philippe Decouflé, and had a 38-person onstage cast with actress Ruby Lewis in the lead as Indigo. Paramour began preview shows on April 16, 2016, with an official premiere on May 25, 2016. It closed exactly one year after its first preview show, on 16 April 2017. During previews, Paramour got off to a strong start and grossed over $1 million in its first six shows. The show was directed by French director-choreographer Philippe Decouflé, who was also the director of the cinema themed Cirque du Soleil show Iris. The rest of the creative team was also the same as for Iris apart from the assistant directors, composer and sound designer. Scenes from Iris, such as aerial straps performed by the Atherton twins (who also performed in Iris), were incorporated into Paramour. The show closed on Broadway on 16 April 2017 after 31 previews and 366 performances. Despite average box office sales, Cirque was allegedly paid $23 million to terminate its contract early[4], in order to vacate the Lyric and allow for the necessary renovations for the show's successor, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which had a sold out track record since opening on the West End.[5][6] Paramour reopened in April 2019 in Hamburg, Germany.[7]
Résumé: Paramour nous raconte l’histoire d’une grande actrice (Indigo) qui se retrouve piégée dans un triangle amoureux décisif entre un réalisateur (A.J Golden) qui veut sa gloire et un compositeur (Joey Green) voulant cueillir son cœur. Tout cela sera bien évidemment prétexte à des acrobaties à couper le souffle entrecoupées de moments musicaux qui évoqueront l’Âge d’or du 7ème Art.
