When An American soldier in Paris meets a mysterious beautiful young Parisian dancer

It is the Tony Award winning stage version of the 1951 multiple Oscar winning film classic "An American in Paris" and it is nothing short of spectacular. Few moments in history could equal or exceed the overwhelming drama of that time and the end World War Two. More than four bloody years of global horror and anguish had finally come to an end, France had been taken back from the Nazis and the City of Lights, Paris was returning to a spirit of joy, love and happiness absent far too long. In that place, in that time in that moment there was an American soldier who chose to remain in Paris after the war and a mysterious beautiful young Parisian dancer; they met and now let the story begin.

Jerry Mulligan, an American soldier played by Garen Scribner walks to the piano center stage and addresses the audience briefly explaining the time and the feelings of the moment. Then the stage magically morphs as song and dance take over and it is game on. In fact that is one of the most compelling elements of this spectacular show "An American in Paris" the eye popping mind blowing manner in which the physical scenery routinely but mystically transforms. That alone is worth the price of admission, but then there is Lise Dassin.

Lise Dassin played by Sara Esty an absolutely enthralling ballerina who rightly commands and receives unfettered attention with her overwhelming grace and beauty. Prior to my seeing Sara Esty I was fairly neutral on ballet. Now I am a true fan because what she displays on stage is nothing short of true, deep and heart stopping poetry in motion.

And so goes the show peppered with abundant dancing by a large and clearly gifted cast of exquisite performers. There is also an abundance of George and Ira Gershwin classic songs including "I Got Rhythm, S Wonderful" and of course "An American in Paris."

"An American in Paris" is arguably one of the most compelling, exciting and genuinely beautiful shows on stage anywhere right now. See it and you will leave singing and feeling deeply joy and love. It captures a richly compelling moment in history set in the epicenter of one of our world's bloodiest wars yet rejoicing at the end of hostilities and a full return to peace, joy, love and passion the very essence of Paris, France. It is a story of people, art and love and it is exquisitely executed by a true five star cast and crew.
