The thrilling story of a young American soldier, a beautiful French girl and an indomitable European city, each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of war. Featuring a score including the songs “I Got Rhythm,” “‘S Wonderful,” “But Not for Me,” “Stairway to Paradise,” “They Can’t Take That Away” and orchestral music including “Concerto in F,” “2nd Prelude,” “2nd Rhapsody” and “An American in Paris.”
Accolades do not even begin to come close to what this production deserves. The cast, orchestra and set design were sublime. I took my best friend for her birthday and she absolutely loved it as did I.
Outstanding cast, score, set....loved every minute of it!
My husband doesn't normally enjoy musicals or ballet but he loved An American in Paris. He said it was a combination of the story line plus the familiar songs plus the excellence of the choreography. I loved it too. The performances were wonderful and I really found myself engaged with the characters. One small caveat. The running time was advertised as 113 minutes but, including the intermission, it was more like 170 minutes. Don't expect an early night.
As good as the Broadway production we saw in May 2016.
Too much ballet and not enough singing numbers. Also too long.
I'm on the fence. I think the play itself was just okay. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great.
While the majority of the audience appeared to really enjoy an American in Paris, my partner and I did not. The translation of the story from screen to stage was fine and many of the sets were interesting but everything else was lacking. The acting was rather wooden. The choreography (by Christopher Wheeldon) did little to move the story forward or even to entertain. The arrangement of the Gershwin songs was choppy and uninspiring and the voices were only adequate with the exception of the male lead, Garen Scribner who is painful to hear. Many shows have successfully transitioned from screen to stage ; this one did not.
Dancing, singing, music was extraordinary!! Superb performance... A must see show.
An American In Paris is one of the most beautiful shows I have ever seen. The perfect blend of recognizable music and dance. The ballet scenes, along with the gorgeous set designs are breathtaking.
It was wonderful to combine this story with ballet. The dancers/actors were wonderfully talented. i would see this again in a heartbeat.
The show was a delight! The performers were awesome, superb dancing and singing, and the sets were astonishingly creative!
We were especially blown away by the effect of the artistic projections and how they worked together with the sets and costumes. This was in addition to the wonderful dancing. There were no weak links in this performance.
This musical was astounding! Wonderful music, great singing, exquisite dancing and it was very well acted.
Really enjoyed the show. Dancers/singers were amazing. Choreography was great as well as the stage. The show really brought us to some other time.
The leads are fantastic... voices and performances excellent. The overall production however shows its age... missing a spark.
