⭐ OH L’AMOUR – THE ERASURE MUSICAL CONCEPT ALBUM ANNOUNCED ⭐
A concept album has been announced for the new musical Oh L’Amour – The Erasure Musical.
Oh L’Amour is a new musical, set to the music of British synth-pop duo Erasure, about friends who find love and experience loss during the socially tumultuous 80’s.
Besides the titular song, included in the show are Erasure hits “Blue Savannah”, “Sometimes” and the world-wide LGBTQIA pride anthem “A Little Respect”.
The cast assembled for the concept recording are Ethan Le Phong (Aladdin – West End, Miss Saigon – West End), Shauntè Massard (Aida – US Tour), Patrick Ortiz (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), Sam Clark (Grease Live) and Lyle Colby Mackston (Priscilla Queen Of The Desert – Los Angeles).
Oh L’Amour follows Sam (Phong) on the first night of his journey cross country to attend a prestigious writer’s program in San Francisco. When his belongings are stolen, Savannah (Massard), a record store manager with big dreams of her own, offers Sam a couch and a job. Beau (Clark), a Texan with a heart of gold, and Bobby (Ortiz), a self-destructive DJ, are the men that sweep the two off their feet. Sam makes it to San Francisco, but at a high cost, and requires the help of AIDS activist Gabriel (Mackston) to set him back onto his creative journey.
The show was created by Paul Lavoie, who also wrote its book. Music & lyrics by Erasure’s Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.
Musical Direction & Arrangements by Mitchell Kaplan (Sandra Bernhard’s longtime musical director & co-producer of UnCabaret).
Michael A. Shepperd of LA’s award winning LGBTQ+ Celebration Theater returns as director.
This stage of the production’s development is crowd-funded through IndieGogo.
Sounds fabulous! ! ! I hope this gets to become a fully-fledged show! ! !
