Paramour, the first Cirque du Soleil production created for the Broadway stage, is now running at the Lyric Theatre in advance of a May 25 opening.

Staged by French director Philippe Decouflé, the musical production will blend "the best of Broadway with Cirque du Soleil's signature style." Paramour is set in Golden Age Hollywood, where a young poet is forced to choose between love and art.
