Cirque du Soleil Paramour
As soon as the show started, I had a feeling I had made the right decision on not giving up on the brand. The show is very Broadway-esque. It’s a timeless love story with 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 and acrobatic feats that defy the imagination. The little boy in town was completely enraptured, leaning out of his seat the entire time. It’s the story of a beautiful young actress forced to choose between love and art in the glamorous world of Golden Age Hollywood, and it combines film as a medium to tell its dramatic story. If you thought there was a lot to watch and look for in a typical Cirque experience, you’ve seen nothing until you see
Paramour. The production features at least 15 different circus arts disciplines, many of which have never appeared on Broadway. The disciplines cover aerial strap artists, banquine, Chinese pole, contortion, cyr wheel, hand to hand, hand to trapeze, juggling, lyra, Russian bar, Spanish web, teeterboard, tumbling, trampoline, and trapeze. The result is breath-taking, and it certainly helps that the cast is superb. The leads Jeremy Kushnier as A.J., the director; Ruby Lewis as Indigo, the starlet, and Ryan Vona as Joey, the composer are fabulous singers and they really compliment the acrobats and performers.
