  • The iconic dance sequence from An American In Paris the musical in full, and performed by Robert Fairchild (Jerry Mulligan) and Leanne Cope (Lise Bouvier).
    From An American In Paris (2018): This breathtakingly beautiful Tony Award®-Winning Broadway Musical, inspired by the Oscar® winning MGM film, tells the impassioned story of discovering love in the 'City of Light'. Featuring the gorgeous music and lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin (including the classic hits 'S Wonderful and I Got Rhythm), stunning designs, and show-stopping choreography. Jerry Mulligan is an American GI striving to make it as a painter in a city suddenly bursting with hope and possibility. Following a chance encounter with a beautiful young dancer named Lise, the streets of Paris become the backdrop to a sensuous, modern romance of art, friendship and love in the aftermath of war.

    It is rare to see the quality of ballet in a musical is at par to the big name ballet companies. Absolutely loved it.

    This deserved a way longer run on Broadway/West End than it had. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another musical like this. And the top-tier ballet isn’t just a “one-off” “dream ballet sequence” in every other Broadway show attempting to inject ballet into their show. Having ballet throughout the show with a jazzsical score is just phenomenal.

    This is one of the best musicals on the stage today. The design and the orchestrations are both world class as are the dancers and performances. Hugely enjoable piece of the theatre with all creative elements coalescing into a near perfect whole.

I was playing the aforementioned piece on my piano when this black Chow-Lab mix began scratching at my feet. Three days of trying different names--none did he like until the Gershwin tune was being played. I asked him: Ira? George? Gershwin? And so Gershwin it was. He was about two & lived til age 20. Why can't dogs live as long as humans are supposed to?

    • @ErinSnape
      @ErinSnape 3 года назад +7

      I think you can see that on her second entrance with the yellow dress, it is a 'quick change' dress (she has on long white sleeves, covering the black dress under). So it probably has a velcro (or something similar) seam to just pull the dress off revealing the black underneath - then another dancer takes the yellow dress off. I'm no costume designer, just an avid musical lover so this is all just speculation.

    • @CaptainMargaret42
      @CaptainMargaret42 3 года назад +5

      Thank you! I figured that's what it had to be, but I couldn't for the life of me pin down where the quick change dress went or which dancer ended up with it.

      @@CaptainMargaret42 My theory is that a different dancer comes on in the yellow dress just for the “change” part, with Leanne, now in the black dress hiding behind the shape on stage. In the darkness, and general melee, the two Lises change places, with yellow Lise going behind the shape as black Lise rises up, ready for that gorgeous dance.
