The Look of Love

ABOUT:

Following the roaring success of his Beatles tribute Pepperland, Mark Morris teams up again with musical collaborator Ethan Iverson for The Look of Love, a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach. Bacharach was a towering figure in popular music, known for soaring melodies and unique orchestrations influenced by jazz, rock and Brazilian music paired with longtime lyricist Hal David's unsentimental, poignant lyrics. This evening-length work features original choreography by Morris and new musical arrangements by Iverson, performed by an ensemble of piano, trumpet, bass and drums, with singer, actress and Broadway star Marcy Harriell (In the Heights, Rent) on lead vocals.
