MISSING THE MUSIC
I was very excited about seeing An American in Paris but immediately was saddened to see the small size of the orchestra. Many of the orchestrations felt too thin,. When you are presenting such well known pieces, the audience comes with an aural history and that was disappointing. The sets were amazing, the company wonderful but I felt the leads were lacking chemistry. There did not seem to be any genuine affection between the two leads. It was impressive how competently the leads sang. A good evening but my expectations were higher based on the New York production.

AMAZING SET / MEDIOCRE PERFORMANCE
We were very excited to see the performance (12/9) but left the theater disappointed. The Opera House is a beautiful facility and the set design and scene transitions were fixating. Unfortunately the acting didn't live up to the set or the wonderful score. The leads, Jerry and Lise, shared absolutely no chemistry. Lise was devoid of emotion and Jerry struggled to show any real interest in Lise or a "relationship". The characters of Andy, Henri and Milo were terrific - nicely acted with strong vocals. It amounted to a nice evening out, albeit not very memorable.

AMERICAN IN PARIS
Excellent choreography . Beautiful dancing. Okay acting...but absolutely horrible singing. This is one you should miss.

NOT PLEASED
We were so excited to see that American in Paris was part of the Mirvish package for this year. However the singing, the orchestra and the dancing left us cold. This is some of the most beautiful music ever written for a movie/play and it just fell flat for us. The dancing was beautiful, but disappointed that it was mostly ballet. We attended the Sunday matinee on a very stormy day. The seats as always were good, and comfortable.
