An American in Paris

ALAN JAY WILDSTEIN CENTER for the PERFORMING ARTS
In post war Paris, romance is in the air and youthful optimism reigns.
Gershwin’s soaring melodies are matched by gravity-defying dance as the
world rediscovers the power of love in this breathtaking production. Hoping to
start a new life, World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan chooses newly liberated
Paris as the place to make a name for himself as a painter. But Jerry’s life
becomes complicated when he meets Lise, a young Parisian shop girl with
her own secret – and realizes he is not her only suitor. Winner of four Tony
Awards and inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, this exquisite
production features your favorite Gershwin songs including “I Got Rhythm,”
“Liza,” “’S Wonderful,” “But Not for Me,” and “Stairway to Paradise.”
