An American In Paris in London

Starring:

Robert Fairchild, Leanne Cope

Are you ready for a sensuous modern romance, a show that has already wowed audiences in Paris and on Broadway? Don't miss your chance to experience a musical featuring a suite of unforgettable George and Ira Gershwin songs including I Got Rhythm, 'S Wonderful and They Can't Take That Away From Me, as well as the sublime An American in Paris itself.

An American in Paris – The Story

American Jerry Mulligan is young, strong and fit, ready for love. The Second World War has just ended and Jerry is in Paris, a city filled with new hope and possibilities after the ravages of six devastating years of conflict. An ex-GI, Jerry wants to stay in Paris and start a new life as an artist. When he runs across the young and very beautiful dancer, Lise, the backdrop of the Paris streets becomes totally magical, transformed by their love into a sensual wonderland of art, friendship and joy in the aftermath of war.

The show's world première raised the roof at Paris's gorgeous Théâtre du Châtelet, then transferred to Broadway in a blaze of critical glory. It's the most-awarded musical of the year, hailed as a triumph of the stage musical genre.

The New York Times calls the production “a perfect integration of dance, romance and classic Gershwin”. The Chicago Tribune calls it a “spectacular production”. The Independent newspaper says it's a “breathtakingly beautiful staging of the MGM musical”, just three of a collection of excellent reviews. Now it's making its way to London, the theatrical event of 2017 and a truly stunning re imagining of the Oscar winning MGM film.

The musical is playing at the newly-refurbished and restored Grade 2 listed Dominion theatre, the perfect venue for a wonderful romance, a feel-good classic in the making. The original, award-winning Broadway stars Robert Fairchild and Leanne Cope are coming over the Atlantic to do their spectacular thing in England's capital, joined by a large, talented cast of more than fifty actors, dancers and musicians. And it's directed and choreographed to perfection by the Olivier and Tony award-winner Christopher Wheeldon.

The respected Pulitzer Prize finalist Craig Lucas wrote the show, with amazing set and costume designs by the seven-time Tony winner Bob Crowley, with big theatrical hits like The Audience and Mary Poppins under his belt. Creative projections come from 59 Productions, who played a part in the 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, and the Tony-winning orchestrations are by Christopher Austin, Don Sebesky and Bill Elliott. Sound comes courtesy of Jon Weston and the lighting is by Natasha Katz, another multiple Tony award-winner. Whatever angle you look at it from, this is star-studded stuff!

An overrated musical

The first half of the show was flat. Dialogue lacked bite and delivery, slow on cues. Principals looked lost on such a big stage. Dancing and singing good,but, the story line really lacked any punch, too predictable. Must have been a team chat during the interval, because the Show woke up and the dialogue became sharper and crisper. The dancing was again excellent and the special dance outstanding. May one beg the male promoter, (sorry lost our programme) be given a decent suit to wear!

An enjoyable experience

The story was very enjoyable, straightforward and not extraordinarily profound but well executed with the right dose of humor. Personally I would like more singing interspersed with dialogues, rather than long passages of dialogues, but that's just my personal preference. The male leads were all great, and I especially liked the performance of Adam's role (even though at times I had trouble telling them apart - partly due to the distance from the stage). The voice of the female lead felt a bit weak to me and was often overpowered during chorus. The actress playing Milo, on the other hand, was outstanding.

C'etait etonnant!

Well, maybe not astonished exactly, but it was very good. Evocative sets, engaging performances, great lighting, and some wonderful set pieces (my favourite was the "I'll build a stairway to paradise" vignette), and a joyous and moving musical score. My only reservation was I preferred the original storyline/plot in the film. Focusing more on the Nazi occupation and its privations, as this version does, is not really the stuff of light entertainment. Also, although the actor that played Gerry Mulligan was good, his dancing did not reach the Gene Kelly stratosphere. But that's not really a criticism - there is, and only ever will be, one Gene Kelly and it's unfair to compare him with anyone else. Gene was sui generis. However,the actress that payed Lise was a total delight - wonderful dancer and utterly enchanting.

Amazing Entertainment

Amazing dancing and singing; probably more time on the dancing, so if you find that boring this would not be for you. The music was secondary, and particular to the era of the Gershwin composers of the 1930s and 1940s. Some younger viewers might find the music dated, although I think it stands the test of time. Ultimately a package of dancing and song, with a slightly predictable love story.

Brilliantly performed, and staged. As a retired dance teacher/choreographer, I thought the choreography lacked the variety & versatility of the film musical; so many of the movements were the same in a lot of the routines - which flattened it a bit/became rather monotonous - but they were performed brilliantly. I also felt "less" would have been "more" with all the devises/props that were used, but on the whole, it was an enjoyable show - but without the "wow" factor for me, apart from "Stairway to Paradise" and beautiful lines of the female lead; and perhaps "Fidgety Feet number.

Saigon stumbles on Broadway whilst Paris soars in the West End

by Phil Willmott | Monday, March 27 2017, 09:59

An American In Paris Often visitors from New York will ask me what theatre I'd recommend they see whilst in the U.K. And, honestly, that's quite a difficult question to answer. So many hit shows have either already been seen in New York or are about transfer there.

This cross-fertilisation began in the late 1980s, a strange decade in the history of New York musicals when they weren't producing anything of note whilst the British were dominating the world with Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals like Cats and Phantom of the Opera and mega hits also produced by Cameron Macintosh including Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, both of which earned their reputations in the West End before taking American Theatre by storm.

Review: An American in Paris

by Daniel Perks | Thursday, March 16 2017, 10:16

Lise Dassin - An American in Paris One of Wheeldon’s finest moments that captures the romantic essence of its Parisian roots and brings it into the present day. Experience a cast and creative team working its peak in a fitting homage to an iconic style.

Think of American Jazz and the roaring twenties and you automatically think of the Gershwin brothers. George and Ira are synonymous with the style – Rhapsody in Blue; virtuoso piano jazz standards; lilting, dreamy trumpet melodies; plush orchestration. All the aspects of a timeless classic composition can be found in An American In Paris – fitting, since it is itself one of the true great films of its era, a bastion of historical Hollywood in all its intoxicating glamour.

An American in Paris One of the most life enhancing shows I've ever seen on Broadway is the Gershwin musical AN AMERICAN IN PARIS and I'm delighted to report that rehearsals have begun for The West End production.

The plot is described in today's official press release as the story of "Jerry Mulligan is an American GI striving to make it as a painter in a city suddenly bursting with hope and possibility. Following a chance 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"

An American in Paris Word on the street is that the show will be coming to London sometime in 2017.

Over the past 15 years there has been a plethora of adaptations of Hollywood movies into stage musicals. The success of these ventures from film to the stage depends on whether or not the theatrical team behind the transfer is able to create a piece that is not just a lazy copy but rather one that has a unique theatrical language and reason for being on the stage.
