An American In Paris
1100 Third Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $45 - $95
Most musicals excel at one aspect of acting, singing, or dancing. An American in Paris stuns the audience with beautifully elegant dancing. In post-World War II Paris, three men find themselves vying for the love of a young ballet prodigy, Lise Dassin. She becomes torn between the son of the family that saved her life and the American who slowly steals her heart. While the set is minimalist, stunning costumes, sweeping music, and animated backdrops add to the artistry enveloping the musical. The second act is lengthy, but well worth the American in Paris ballet . Critic's Pick.
