Ruby Lewis to Make Broadway Debut in Cirque du Soleil-Paramour; Opening Night Moved

Newcomer Ruby Lewis is set to make her Great White Way debut in Cirque du Soleil—Paramour. The production, which will unite the signature spectacle of Cirque du Soleil with Broadway’s storytelling, is now scheduled to officially open on May 25, 2016 (instead of June 2). Previews will still start on April 16 at the Lyric Theatre.

Lewis first came to Cirque du Soleil’s attention in For The Record: Baz, the post-modern cabaret inspired by the films of director Baz Luhrmann. She has also appeared in the national touring companies of Gypsy, Grease, Jersey Boys and We Will Rock You.

Directed by Philippe Decouflé, Paramour is set in the world of Golden Age Hollywood. The event will spin the tale of a beautiful young poet forced to choose between love and art. Additional casting for the 38-member company that blends the best in circus arts will be announced soon.
