BWW REVIEW: National Tour of AN AMERICAN IN PARIS Launches in Boston
by Jan Nargi - Oct 31, 2016


Joie de vivre is in short supply in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, the acclaimed Broadway musical now launching its first national tour in Boston through November 6. Inspired by the beloved 1951 MGM movie musical starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, this Broadway iteration looks and feels monochromatic compared to its opulent Technicolor predecessor, but that is mostly by design. This adaptation brings the story's post World War II setting front and center, revealing a city and its inhabitants still shell shocked as they try to rebuild in the aftermath of the Nazi occupation.

BWW Reviews: ROCK THE BALLET Admiralspalast, Berlin
by Marcel Konrath - Feb 10, 2013


Es war der legendare Fred Astaire, der folgenden Satz pragte: 'Tanz ist ein Telegramm an die Erde mit der Bitte um Aufhebung der Schwerkraft.' Die Bad Boys des Tanzes unter der Leitung und Choreografie von Rasta Thomas gastierten im Admiralspalast Berlin mit ihrer mitreißenden Show 'Rock the Ballet'. DIe Schwerkraft wird an diesem Abend gleich mehrere Male aufgehoben, denn dass was das hochkaratigem siebenkopfige Ensemble bietet ist schlichtweg atemberaubend.
