NEW YORK (AP) β Cirque du Soleil has revealed one of the female leads of its first production created specifically for Broadway and, appropriately, she’s a self-described “thrill-seeker” who lists among her skills skydiving, improv and tae kwon do.
Ruby Lewis, a native of Tennessee, will make her Broadway debut this spring in “Paramour” with a 38-member company that will create a show about a love triangle with some eye-popping acrobatics.
Lewis is currently visiting with friends and family “before my whole life takes off at 50 mph.” She grew up a dancer and has always been intrigued by aerial artists and gymnasts.
Previews for “Paramour” will begin in April at the Lyric Theatre. The show is an attempt by Cirque to add linear story-telling to what is usually an assorted group of acts.
