AMOUR: transports audiences to Paris’ iconic and beautiful Montmartre neighborhood. Complete with scenic elements, costumes, and props, this production isn’t just a Zoom performance with backdrops added in. The digital experience evokes—to the best of its ability—a live performance on a Broadway stage with a cast of Broadway veterans.

Amour is set in picturesque Montmartre, in the city of Paris. Dusoleil (Drew Gehling) is a nerdy civil servant but also a dreamer who discovers that he can walk through walls, which allows him to give bread and jewels to the deserving bourgeoisie. As he gains confidence to win over the beautiful Isabelle (Christiani Pitts) from her unhappy marriage, Dusoleil's magical approach to life makes the world better for his co-workers and other Parisian locals.

The trailer is now available for the upcoming virtual Broadway musical revival of Amour. Featuring the song “The Street Vendors' Waltz,” you can now get a first look at this innovative streaming production, created entirely remotely.

The cast of Amour will feature Derrick Baskin, Drew Gehling, Kara Lindsay, Kevin Massey, Adam Pascal, Christiani Pitts, Jennifer Saìnchez, Thom Sesma, Vishal Vaidya, and Rachel York.

Paris, 1950 - a shy, unassuming civil servant, Dusoleil, lives alone and works diligently in a dreary office. To pass the time, he writes letters to his mother and daydreams about the beautiful Isabelle, who is kept locked away by her controlling husband. When Dusoleil miraculously gains the ability to walk through walls, he not only begins to lead a double life, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor to right the wrongs of his war-impoverished Parisian neighbours, but also gains the self-confidence to woo Isabelle and, just for a while, live the life he has always longed for.

Three days after its opening in Chicago, we take a look at Black Button Eyes Production' latest musical, AMOUR. Adapted from the short story "Le Passe-Muraille" by beloved French author Marcel Ayme, AMOUR tells the story of Dusoleil, a shy clerk working in a dreary office in post-World War II Paris. One day he discovers he has the ability to walk through walls, and embraces a life of romance and adventure.
