    Grandiose!!!

    by Titeanne on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    Take the best of Broadway : music, singing, dancing, a romantic love story. Take the best of le cirque du soleil: juggling, climbing, flying acrobats, contortionnists. Add a beautiful decor, costumes, lights, pictures and images. Shake it all together and you'll be mesmerized by two hours of pure genius and art. I laughed, cried, jumped from my seat and clapped until my hands hurt. I fell in love with Paramour <3

    Too much going on

    by teachersally on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    When I saw Paramour advertised, I was very excited because I love Broadway and I love Cirque! But in reality, there was too much going on on the stage. It took a little bit to get into the story. The actors were talented and the Cirque Du Soliel performers were great, but when they are put together, it was too visually stimulating for me. There were certain powerful scenes from the show, but they only contained acting or acrobats.

    Cirque Musical

    by Shraga on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    We loved how the acrobatics we associated with Cirque du Soleil was integrated into a musical with a story line, great choreography, sets, and wonderful singing. A real unique event that could be enjoyed by all.

    Not Broadway standard

    by Anonymous on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    This is a long fairly boring musical with a couple of highlights- the high wire Cirque parts (2) were spectacular. The rest was music and dancing. Not the typical Cirque quality.

    Definitely a must see!

    by arod525 on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    From the beginning to the end you are swept away into the world of Paramour. The singing was above average and the acrobats were amazing. It had everything - drama, comedy, romance - a definite win. If you enjoy Broadway + Circus, then this is a show you will not want to miss.

    A for beauty, quality and effort

    by MooseNyc on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    I can see why traditional theatre critics dislike this. Its true that the story arcs are mundane. The music isn't broadway-like. And the acrobatics are not as grand as a normal CdS show — and I'm speaking as a fan who has seen every traveling show and O. But if you accept that this is somewhat of a new format, where a team of French Canadian performers, acrobats, and musicians ask themselves: what would we look, sound, and act like if we weren't a French Canadian circus but an American Broadway company? Then you will hopefully understand the magic that's Paramour. I think understanding that transition is important for the appreciation, and maybe criticism, of the show. Criticism because while French clichés are always fun and sophisticated for an American audience, American clichés and mythologies don't carry the same weight. In fact, we have been exposed to so many cultural references that it's almost impossible for any of them to be fresh. There are moments that looked like the Great Gatsby (film), Chicago (Broadway), Dick Tracy (film) and every western movie ever made. So to me, its the adaptation of the format that made the show a creative and performance success, not the originality of the visual and mythological language vis-à-vis "scenes". Still, in its own right, the show is tight. The actor/acrobat integrations are beautifully done. And the artistic direction is undeniably Cirque. It's American, and Broadway. The show is well planned with the first half establishing the characters and the second half action-oriented. There are a few highlights for me. The triangle trio is for the ages; the Icelandic sounding "zombies" dream sequence is a welcoming departure; and the drone-controlled lampshades progressing from an YouTube experiment to a Broadway moment... That's history in the making. Oh and the pair of angels... God. The pair of angels... And I'm leaving out the superb actors and the beautiful, surprisingly multi-faceted, ending, which are all worthy of a second look. All in all my group of four enjoyed it thoroughly. I for one will go back to see this once more.

    Paramour downer

    by Idont on 5/31/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    The least favorite of 5 cirque solei shows we have seen. It was more like a b'way show with a few acrobatics. Nice acoustics

    Better than your typical broadway

    by weddinglady on 5/30/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    It has the music and dancing and story line of Broadway, but the excitement of amazing feats of strength and agility!

    Paramour is fantastic!

    by DNADame on 5/30/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    We think that most Cirque performances are super, but Paramour tops them all. The sets, the story, the acting, the razmataz, the acrobatics are all terrific. I wish we lived in New York so we could see it again and again. The early reviews are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Why should anyone insist on a standard, depressing, true-to-life Broadway drama every time they go to the theater when they have Paramour as an antidote?

    Cirque du Soleil defies the laws of gravity

    by beebux on 5/30/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    Awesome broadway musical. Cirque du Soleil defies the laws of gravity to bring you an awesome acrobatic, cheerful and intense musical show, Each scene is a perfect and detailed tableau embellished by the talents and skills of every performer. Every move seems as easy as drinking water but you can imagine the hours, days, months and years of practice to reach that perfection. It's a beautiful moment, a beautiful broadway show like you'd expect them. If there was one show you should see in NY, it's this one!

    cirque du soleil - paramour

    by westchestermomof2 on 5/30/16Lyric Theatre - New York

    This show was FANTASTIC!!!!!! The first 15-min were a bit slow but once the show got going the acrobatics were simply amazing and made up for the dull spots here and there. The story takes place in old hollywood which seems very dated for today's teens - but all 7 girls that I took (12-15 years old) absolutely LOVED the show and we would highly recommend. Go see it!!
