Yet another wonderful Broadway show that is closing soon (October 9), so everyone go see it! This was my first time watching An American in Paris, and it was a lot of fun and a very unique show with all the beautiful ballet.
I was so impressed with the talent -- how do these people dance AND sing so well?! -- in addition to the skillful use of the screen projections (I thought Les Mis did a good job, but this was so much better) and funny, witty quips throughout that lightened the mood for what would otherwise have been a darker post-war love story. Many of the songs should also be recognizable to the general audience, whether you're familiar with Gershwin or not.
Overall, I would highly recommend An American in Paris to both the casual audience and serious Broadway lover. The story is compelling, the songs are catchy, and the ballet is lovely.
