The love story at the center of the routine, which will be featured on Tuesday’s (June 24) America’s Got Talent, is at least partly inspired by the romance between the group leader and a fellow group member. They met, and became friends, but eventually their relationship blossomed into romance. An engagement, and then marriage followed.
The story follows a young couple who marry and have a child before war tears them apart. Watch the Verba Shadow Theater’s heartbreaking love story below.
