One of my New Year's resolutions was to do more stuff.......well, I am lucky some awesome shows are rolling through the DFW area. An American in Paris is glorious - sumptuous, beautiful, rich, and sublime. The dancing and singing were on point. The sets were visually stunning.
It's Paris, right after WWII and three men vie for the attention of a beautiful dancer. There's a lot more to the story than that - residue of war and other issues rise to the surface. The plot has a strong structure, and the musical numbers keep the story line flowing.
Gershwin tunes galore - I Got Rhythm, S'Wonderful, But Not for Me, I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise, They Can't Take That Away From Me
Hum along and escape to Paris. S'Wonderful, indeed....

And the show did it justice
DeleteSure sounds like it has it all indeed
ReplyDeleteExcellent afternoon
DeleteI've never seen this but I have heard quite a few of the tunes.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes open for a touring show
DeleteWe are enjoying plays here as well. Our local high schools and even middle schools do a tremendous job. (But our youngest daughters dream is to see Hamilton.)
ReplyDeleteI need to support the local school more. I dream of Hamilton too. Love the soundtrack

ReplyDeleteI love to come out still humming a tune
