With a beautiful score by multiple-Oscar winning composer Michel Legrand, the musical AMOUR was based on a surrealist French short story by Marcel Ayme.  Set in post World War II Paris, the musical concerns the life of Dusoleil (Gets), a civil servant who discovers he has the ability to walk through walls. With this strange new power, he discovers the secret lives of his neighbors along with a romance of his own (the lonely daydreamer/housewife Isabelle played by Melissa Errico). The French version, Le Passe Muraille, won the Prix Moliere for Best Musical in 1997, the equivalent of the Tony Award.  Amour opened at the Music Box Theatre Oct. 20, 2002; and recorded its acclaimed cast album for Ghostlight Records.  Direction by James Lapine and book by Jeremy Sams.  With Tony nods for Gets, Legrand, Lapine and Sams was the 2003 Tony nomination for Melissa for "Best Leading Actress in a Musical."
