'An American in Paris': Ecstatic joy of freedom
The Broadway Philadelphia season at the Kimmel kicks off with an ecstatic version of An American in Paris. The show ended its Broadway run at the Palace Theater, in October and netted four Tony Awards. This touring production is an achievement in sound, sight, movement, and magic. It does Gene Kelly's Oscar-winning choreography from the 1951 film by the same name justice and then some.
