Cirque du Soleil Theatrical has announced a new block of tickets will go on sale to the general public tomorrow at 10 AM (Eastern Time) for Cirque du Soleil Paramour, the organization's first show created specifically for Broadway.

Tickets for Paramour's open-ended run at Broadway's Lyric Theatre (213 West 42nd Street) are now on sale through Sunday, July 31, 2017.

In Cirque du Soleil Paramour, the search for love, happiness, and fame jumps off the silver screen and unfolds on the Broadway stage. Travel back to the Golden Age of Hollywood where the stars shine brighter, the glitz is glitzier, and zoot suits are somehow fashionable. A director searching for his next big hit, finds it in a small-town actress, and before you know it, a star is airborne! So, hold your breath, because the rise to fame isn't just a stunt. The first and only Cirque du Soleil musical spectacle: Paramour.

The cast, boasting over 40 members, features Broadway actors, dancers, and renowned aerialists, acrobats, and circus arts performers representing at least 15 different circus arts disciplines, many of which have never appeared on Broadway: aerial strap artists, banquine, Chinese pole, contortion, cyr wheel, hand to hand, hand to trapeze, juggling, lyra, Russian bar, Spanish web, teeterboard, tumbling, trampoline, and trapeze.

The cast and creative team are from 13 different countries (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Belarus, Canada, China, Cuba, France, Poland, Russia, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States) spanning five continents.

Paramour features Jeremy Kushnier as A.J., the director; Ruby Lewis as Indigo, the starlet; and Ryan Vona as Joey, the composer.

Paramour began performances Saturday, April 16 at Broadway's Lyric Theatre, and opened Wednesday, May 25. The show continues to dazzle audiences nightly. The show has also had remarkable response from Cirque du Soleil and Broadway fans alike.
