Critic’s Choice

“This fabulous new musical, a hit on Broadway and now here, is so light and graceful that at times you could swear that our couple in 1945 Paris, Jerry (Robert Fairchild) and Lise (Leanne Cope), are dancing on air. ‘S Wonderful.” –The Times
“Gene Kelly classic makes a sensuous leap from screen to stage. The much-loved MGM musical is now a multiple Tony award-winning stage show. Achingly lovely projected backdrops, sensuously intense dance and some of the finest showtunes, as well as the 1928 Jazz-symphonic title number, from the George Gershwin back-catalogue.” –The Daily Telegraph
RECOMMENDED: “Christopher Wheeldon’s wildly successful stage adaptation of the film that starred Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.” –Financial Times
Best Plays and Shows. “The 1951 Oscar-winning MGM film is hard to beat, but this lavish stage musical version captures the beauty of Paris and the reverie of youth to perfection.” –Telegraph.co.uk
THEATRE PICK: “Christopher Wheeldon’s take on the Gershwin classic darkens the tone into something truly wonderful.” –The Sunday Times
UNMISSABLE EVENT: “Ravishing sets, sparkling costumes and a captivating, dancing cast: Who could ask for anything more?” The Mail on Sunday
PICK OF THE WEEK: –The Sunday Telegraph
