Mark Morris Dance Group: The Look of Love

Following the roaring success of his Beatles tribute Pepperland, Morris teams up again with musical collaborator Ethan Iverson for The Look of Love, a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach. Bacharach was a towering figure in popular music, known for soaring melodies and unique orchestrations influenced by jazz, rock and Brazilian music paired with longtime lyricist Hal David’s unsentimental, poignant lyrics including “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” “Say a Little Prayer” and “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”

This evening-length work, coming to Walton Arts Center on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 7 pm, features original choreography by Morris and new musical arrangements by Iverson. The show is performed by an ensemble of piano, trumpet, bass and drums, with singer, actress, Broadway star and part-time Fayetteville resident Marcy Harriell (In the Heights, Rent) on lead vocals.
