Short Summary

“How do I begin when there are few words I can choose??

I’m a Los Angeles based writer who always thought the music of British Synth-Pop duo Erasure would make a fantastic musical.

So, in 2015, I began the journey of  “OH L’AMOUR: The Erasure Musical.”   It’s been a labor of love that ultimately placed me in the same room with legends Vince Clarke and Andy Bell at The Roundhouse London in 2017!!  Their support and encouragement  has fueled continued progress on the show – most recently a table read in L.A. March 8th of this year.

Now, we’re preparing a new, fully-sung OH L’AMOUR!  With a talented cast of actors and dancers, this showcase will be recorded and made available for streaming later this year.

How Can You Help?

The money raised in this campaign will be used to cover the costs to produce, perform, edit and complete the  video, such as:

Recording new tracks for 24 Erasure songs.  “Phantom Bride” as a lullaby?  “Sometimes” as a country western ballad?  Telling the OH L’AMOUR story requires new versions of all our favorite Erasure songs.  Funds will cover studio time, musicians, back-up singers.

Compensation (at a fraction of their normal fees) for the director, musical director and all actors. 

Post production costs related to sound mixing, picture editing, graphics.

Benefits of your support to include your name in the credits, show swag, signed show memorabilia, pre- and post- show events.  These will evolve over the course of the campaign – so check in often!

Why “OH L’AMOUR?”

OH L’AMOUR’s theme – “If you’re not born into a family that will love you as-is, build one that does.” –  is as relevant today as it was in the 1980s when the show is set.

With a cast of characters as diverse as the world we live in, OH L’AMOUR is exactly the life-affirming, jubilant and fun show we need right now!  

First performed in 2016 to 300+ guests, screened in London and Erasure authorized in 2017,  additional readings in Chicago (2018) and Los Angeles (2020) plus over 7000 Vimeo views worldwide of the original performance recording …L’AMOUR’s music, characters and humor have kept fans wanting more!

Here’s your chance to join the ever-widening L’AMOUR family and to help it achieve its ultimate goal of a Broadway or West End theatrical run.

Risks & Challenges

Should we fall short of goal, we’ll adapt this step of OH L’AMOUR to fit within the amount raised.  Although this will not affect physical dividends, it might affect experiential dividends such as pre-show party.   This could also affect when and how the show is streamed.

Times are challenging right now and we know not everyone can participate financially.  Supporting us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is a HUGE help.   If you live in the LA area and can help in other ways, drop us a line!  We’d love to hear from you.
