Amour is a musical fantasy with an English book and lyrics by Jeremy Sams, music by Michel Legrand, and original French lyrics by Didier Van Cauwelaert, who also wrote the original French libretto. The musical is adapted from the 1943 short story Le Passe-Muraille by Marcel Aymé and set in Paris shortly after World War II. It centers on a shy, unassuming clerk who develops the ability to walk through walls, and who challenges himself to stick to his moral center and change others' lives, and his own, as a result.

An English-language production was mounted in 2002 on Broadway as Amour ; Alan Riding of the New York Times commented, ‘A musical comedy that does well in France is already something of an occasion. A French musical comedy that reaches Broadway – well,’ Cambridge Companion To the Musical Cambridge Companions To Music the the Cambrid, p. 372
