An American in Paris is rated G
Based on the Academy Award winner for Best Picture, An American in Paris brings breathtaking moments of dance and song to the stage. Come away with Jerry Mulligan, an American GI doing his best to make it as a painter in the bustling city of Paris following the end of World War II. The storied streets of the City of Light become the dancefloor to a ravishing and passionate voyage into art, friendship, and love. Set to the music of George and Ira Gershwin, this four-time Tony Award winner and Grammy Award nominee is sure to please.
