Mark Morris and Ethan Iverson team up again on this exhilarating project featuring over a dozen legendary hits by Burt Bacharach. Four years after Pepperland, their acclaimed Beatles collaboration, they are creating an evening-length work with original choreography by Morris and new musical arrangements by Iverson for vocals, piano, trumpet, bass, and drums.

“Always engaging melodically, always surprising rhythmically, with a touch of melancholy and a striving hope, Bacharach’s marvelous music calls out for dancing. There is a rich range of emotion, point of view, and dynamics in Bacharach’s (and lyricist Hal David’s) amazing compositions, both the very familiar and the relatively obscure. The Look of Love will be an action-packed, varied, song and dance show, with something for everyone…a moving return to live theater.”

“Morris taps both our most primal and our most sophisticated responses to music. That’s not the only reason he has been recognized since the 1980s as one of the very few great choreographers of our day — there are also his exceptional imagination; his phenomenal wit; the profundity of his view of society; his insistence on live music; and his exceptionally honest, natural dancers — but it’s fundamental.”
