The New York Times raves, “AN AMERICAN IN PARIS is a triumph! Pure joy!” and the Wall Street Journal declares, “Once you’ve seen it, you’ll find it hard to settle for less ever again.” Don’t miss this stunning Broadway hit when it arrives in Chicago on its first national tour!

    Excellent Dancing!

    by mclrt on 8/16/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    You certainly have to be a fan of ballet to enjoy this show . The plot is pretty basic . Two guys who fall in love with the same girl who is engaged to another .

    breathtaking dancing and choreography

    by pmwildcat on 8/12/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    If you love the sound of Gershwin tunes and can appreciate dance, this play is the choice for you...To say that it has ballet in it might scare some guys off but this ballet is graceful, modern, and athletic. My husband and I loved it.

    An American in Paris (Chicago)

    by LCNJ on 8/12/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Living in New Jersey and seeing plays on Broadway in NYC I was a little skeptical about seeing a play from Broadway done somewhere else. But very much to my surprise the play was amazing, I felt like I was in NYC watching a Broadway play! The cast was fantastic, the music wonderful & it was a fabulous evening. When back in Chicago again I will not hesitate to see another play!

    An American in Paris

    by Powdery on 8/12/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The first act was boring. The lead male singer was very weak and his love for Lise was not believable. The staging and lighting were well done in an interesting way of combining tech with movable panels. I am sorry to admit that we left after the first sleepy act.

    Great Dancing and Music

    by ajrk on 8/12/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The seats were great. The performance was wonderful. Everyone in the musical was amazing. I loved the music of Gershwin played by an excellent orchestra. Hopefully, you will have more music by George and Ira Gershwin.

    American in Paris - what a show!

    by Michaeleb on 8/11/17Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    What can you say about the Gershwins that hasn't already been said! The cast was spectacular! The principles we're all triple threats - acting, singing, and especially dancing. The staging was very inventive. I kept wondering "how did they think of that?"

    The broadway adaption of An American in Paris is not to be missed - incredible dancing, inspiring music, amazing sets and a book that puts meaningful skin on the bones of this remarkable work of art.
