Mark Morris Dance Group’s “The Look of Love,” an evening of dance to the music of Burt Bacharach in honor of Isabelle Stevenson, will take place at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage on Thursday, Oct. 20 through Sunday, Oct. 23.

“The Look of Love” features original choreography by Morris and new musical arrangements by Ethan Iverson. The evening-length compilation of more than a dozen Bacharach hits will be performed by company dancers accompanied by the MMDG Music Ensemble, consisting of piano, trumpet, bass, and percussion, with lead vocals by singer, actress, and Broadway star Marcy Harriell.

The premier of “The Look of Love” will also launch MMDG’s 2022-23 season, with subsequent performances at leading performing arts centers worldwide. The “Look of Love” will be the 10th evening-length work of the prolific Morris’s career, following 2017’s “Pepperland,” which showcased the work of musical legends, The Beatles. This production is Morris’s first created to the music of Bacharach, and will include 14 songs by the multi-Grammy-award winning pop composer and songwriter.

“Always engaging melodically, always surprising rhythmically, with a touch of melancholy and a striving hope, Bacharach’s marvelous music calls out for dancing,” Morris said. “There is a rich range of emotion, point of view, and dynamics in Bacharach’s (and lyricist Hal David’s) amazing compositions, both the very familiar and the relatively obscure. “The Look of Love” will be an action-packed, varied song and dance show with something for everyone a moving return to live theater.”

In addition to Bacharach and Iverson, Morris’s creative team includes other frequent collaborators, designer Isaac Mizrahi and lighting designer Nicole Pearce. For more information, visit broadstage.org
