Choose options
The historic 2014 world premiere pre-Broadway tryout engagement of 'An American in Paris' opened at the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. Serving as the vital international incubator for the massive commercial musical property, this run allowed director-choreographer Christopher Wheeldon to fully test his radical, balletic staging concepts and grand projections before European audiences before crossing the Atlantic. The tracking details the early, developing performances of ballet stars Robert Fairchild and Leanne Cope in George and Ira Gershwin's high-art romance.
