"An American in Paris" - Review
My trip to see the West end production of “An American in Paris” at the Dominon theatre in London on the 27th November was full of cheer and an absolute delight. The show was beautiful to watch and had a romantic charm throughout with a storyline I wasn’t expecting. The show is set in Paris in 1945, just at the end of World War Two and after France had been liberated from Nazi rule. The show follows the story of three men who are in love with the same girl, Lise Dassin, an exceptional Ballet dancer who successfully auditions for the Paris Ballet. One of the three men being her fiancé, the other being the pianist for her Ballet piece she is in, and the third being the man who steals her heart. The historical context of the show was translated well through the dialogue, movement, music, costume and set and had a real authenticity surrounding the era it was portraying. The show has highs, lows, and intricate moments highlighted beautifully through movement, set and lighting.
