AN AMERICAN IN PARIS OPENS AT<br />
THE DOMINION THEATRE<br />
The critically acclaimed and multi<br />
award-winning new musical<br />
An American in Paris had its official<br />
London opening last week at the<br />
beautifully restored Dominion Theatre.<br />
Christopher Wheeldon’s stunning<br />
reinvention of the Oscar® winning film<br />
features the sublime music and lyrics of<br />
George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin and<br />
a new book by Craig Lucas.<br />
The show features many of the<br />
Gershwin’s iconic songs including I Got<br />
Rhythm, ‘S Wonderful, I’ll Build a Stairway<br />
To Paradise and They Can't Take That<br />
Away from Me, together with George<br />
Gershwin’s sweeping compositions<br />
including ‘Concerto in F’ and ‘An<br />
American in Paris’.<br />
Jerry Mulligan is an American GI<br />
pursuing his dream to make it as painter<br />
in a city suddenly bursting with hope<br />
and possibility. Following a chance<br />
encounter with a beautiful young dancer<br />
named Lise, the streets of Paris become<br />
the backdrop to a sensuous, modern<br />
romance of art, friendship and love in<br />
the aftermath of war.<br />
The show is directed and<br />
choreographed by the internationally<br />
renowned, British-born Christopher<br />
Wheeldon. An Artistic Associate of the<br />
Royal Ballet, Wheeldon received an OBE<br />
in the 2016 New Year’s Honours 'for<br />

reputation of British classical and<br />
theatrical dance worldwide’.<br />
