The play, written by Rébecca Déraspe, will run from May 5 to June 6, 2026, at the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde in Montreal. In this production, Normand D’Amour will take on the iconic role of Don Quichotte, while Jean-Philippe Perras will portray Lorenzo. The supporting cast includes Benoit McGinnis as Sancho and Marie-Andrée Lemieux as Dulcinée.
Breaking Development
In a recent announcement, it was revealed that Jean-Philippe Perras will also co-create the musical score for ‘Quichotte’ with his band, Gustafson. This collaboration adds an exciting musical element to the theatrical experience.
In a surprising twist, Normand D’Amour recently made headlines when he proposed to Pascale Montreuil on live television after his eviction from ‘Big Brother Célébrités’. During a post-eviction interview with host Marie-Mai, D’Amour asked, “Ma chérie, voudrais-tu devenir ma femme ?” Montreuil accepted the proposal, which was a surprise for her as she was present in the studio during the live broadcast.
The proposal blended a personal milestone with the mechanics of a reality competition, showcasing D’Amour’s emotional journey. Observers noted that this moment repositions a season narrative that had already intertwined gameplay and personal stories.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the couple’s future plans, but the engagement has certainly captured public interest, especially as D’Amour had initially intended to propose during a trip to Thailand, which lasted 27 days. However, he did not complete the ring preparations in time.
As the premiere of ‘Quichotte’ approaches, anticipation builds around the production and the performances of D’Amour and Perras. The combination of a classic story with contemporary interpretations promises to engage audiences in new ways.
With the added excitement of D’Amour’s recent engagement, fans are eager to see how these personal developments will influence his performance on stage in the coming months.
