Review: ‘Paramour’ Brings Cirque du Soleil to Broadway
5 / 10
Welcome to 'Paramour,' or as I like to call it, 'A.D.H.D.! The Musical.' The production, which opened on Wednesday at the Lyric Theater, represents the latest attempt by the French Canadian entertainment behemoth Cirque du Soleil to make a big splash in New York. This time the company, having failed to wow the local masses sufficiently with its traditional nouveau-circus spectacles, has decided to splice the time-tested yowza diversions - acrobats and gymnasts and jugglers, oh my! - into a traditional musical, with a plot, characters, show tunes and even a little tap-dancing.
