An American in Paris: The Musical
Award-winning romantic musical set in postwar Paris, featuring classic Gershwin songs, directed and choreographed by the Royal Ballet's Christopher Wheeldon.
This breathtakingly beautiful Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, inspired by the Oscar-winning MGM film, tells the impassioned story of discovering love in the City of Light. Featuring the gorgeous music and lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin, including the classic hits 'S Wonderful and I Got Rhythm, stunning designs and show-stopping choreography.
Jerry Mulligan is an American GI striving to make it as a painter in a city suddenly bursting with hope and possibility. Following his encounter with a beautiful young dancer named Lise, the streets of Paris become the backdrop to a sensuous, modern romance of art, friendship and love in the aftermath of war.
