The reveal: We got to watch the wonderfully acclaimed An American in Paris at the Dominicon Theatre tonight! What an utterly beautiful show. It’s no wonder Mr Carl WoodWard @theatremusing had described this as the best musical in London! Thank you so much for easily the best seats in theatre.
Now I wouldn’t categorised it as a musical, but a wonderfully choreographed theatre piece with singing. It is perfect for a fan of ballet and dance, and one who can appreciate jazz and the wonderful 20th century composer Gershwin. The costumes, sets and use of modern tech were really very creative and so elegant and beautiful.
(Also if you are learning drama or theatre in school or university, this was a really good show to watch – the director / choreographer really used a lot of various drama techniques to draw parallels and contrast the storylines between different characters and you can truly appreciate this on this set!)
Definitely a must-go if you love dance and theatre – An American in Paris is a stunning piece. (I only wish that we didn’t have to feel the rumbling of the tube under our feet every 2 minutes…)
Also… Here’s a random observation we noted. WHY IS HÄAGEN DAZS the only ice cream brand ever to be served at the theatre? Did they make a deal? They aren’t the only one that does mini pots, are they? Is it because it’s classy looking or has a spoon for easy eating in it? Feel free to enlighten us…
