“An American In Paris” is
that Tony Award winning musical about an American soldier who falls for a
French girl and The City of Lights just after the end of World War II.
The show won more awards than any other musical that season. Christopher Wheeldon got the Tony Award
for Best Choreography.
The magic of Paris, the glory of George
and Ira Gershwin’s musical composition and Mr. Wheeldon’s superb choreography/ direction conspire to create a spectacular evening of theatre.
Some of the numerous classics woven into
this magical experience are: “I Got Rhythm,” “’S Wonderful,” and “They Can’t
Take That Away from Me.”
It’s great to get to see the fine work of local
artist Barton Cowperthwaite
The live orchestra’s delivery of the Gershwins’ magnificent score is outstanding.
The lighting and scenic designs, here done by Natasha Katz and Bob Crowley respectively, which also won Tonys in 2015, are jaw-dropping perfection! Mr. Crowley also did the eye-popping costume design!
It is this reviewer’s great wish that this
outstanding work will be honored by the SRO crowds it so deserves at every performance.
YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO SEE AND HEAR
THIS MAGNIFICENT SHOW!
