Hello Gentlemen,
It's Asian Nicole. I was so pleased to accompany my darling opera professor to see a fabulous show- An American in Paris at the Princess of Wales Theatre, Downtown Toronto on Wednesday night. This show is running from March 27 to April 29, 2018.
An American in Paris is the new Tony Award-winning musical about an American soldier, a mysterious French girl, and an indomitable European city, each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of war.
Acclaimed director/ballet choreographer and 2015 Tony Award-winner Christopher Wheeldon brings the magic and romance of Paris into perfect harmony with unforgettable songs from George and Ira Gershwin in the show. Wheeldon says "It was really about which pieces of music best told our story. We wanted it to feel like the Gershwin's had written this music specifically for our show".
The show features such classic songs as I got Rhythm, The Man I love, Stairway to Paradise, But Not For Me and They Can't Take That Away From Me, as well as numerous orchestral gems.
The musical dances from beginning to end, and Wheeldon employs a variety of styles, including tap, jazz, old-fashioned Broadway and, most uniquely-ballet! "I wanted to signal to the audience that there is going to be a lot of dancing, and a lot of storytelling through dance. The opening tells the story of Paris and introduces characters through movement." says Wheeldon, " Many people who haven't seen the show think we're doing a ballet, but it's not a ballet. It's a classic Broadway musical with a story told through its book, music, singing, acting and movement. And it features incredibly beautiful, talented performers doing extraordinary things."
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 Toronto!
Wow...What a fabulous show! I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks so much once again for the wonderful evening, my darling opera professor!
