Performer: Leanne Cope

A superb An American in Paris, inspired by the 1951 film of the same name; classic Gershwin songs enveloped by vibrant choreography, in a fast-paced show.   

Broadway is turning movies into musicals at the drop of a top hat, but none can touch this irresistible reworking of the 1951 Gene Kelly extravaganza, An American in Paris. They should just hand the Tonys to Christopher Wheeldon, Bob Crowley, and Robert Fairchild now.
