Five-time Grammy Award nominee and two-time Emmy Award winner Andreas Carlsson has joined the creative team of Cirque du Soleil’s forthcoming first-ever, made-for-Broadway musical Paramour, scheduled to open at the Lyric Theatre in May 2016.
He will be co-composer with the previously announced team of Bob & Bill (a.k.a. Guy Dubuc and Marc Lessard). Carlsson will write the show’s title song.
Carlsson has written for The Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Celine Dion, Ricky Martin, Katy Perry, Leann Rimes, Britney Spears and Carrie Underwood. In 2001 he won the ASCAP Songwriter of The Year Award as the most performed pop writer on radio that year. Paramour, the story of a young poet in Hollywood, will mark his debut as a Broadway songwriter.
