The Mark Morris Dance Group returns to Boston with Morris’ newest evening-length work, The Look of Love. The piece is a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping hits of Burt Bacharach, a towering figure of popular music, newly arranged by jazz pianist, composer, and MMDG musical collaborator Ethan Iverson. Bacharach’s melodies and unique orchestrations soar with influences from jazz, rock, and Brazilian music while his longtime lyricist Hal David provides unsentimental, often bittersweet lyrics. The stage comes alive in a powerful fusion of dance and music with an exceptional ensemble of vocals, piano, trumpet, bass, and drums, led by singer, actress, and Broadway star Marcy Harriell.
"This is choreography that, in the words of the song, says 'more than just words could ever say.'”—New York Times
