The Australian Ballet and GWB Entertainment today announced that the musical An American in Paris will have its Australian premiere in 2022.

Hailed as a tour de force for its inventive choreography, the four-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical tells the entrancing story of a young American soldier and a beautiful French girl, set against the iconic backdrop of the most romantic city in the world.

Inspired by the Academy Award-winning MGM film, acclaimed director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon brings the enchantment and magic of Paris alive on stage with popular songs by George and Ira Gershwin, including I Got Rhythm, S Wonderful, But Not For Me and They Can't Take That Away From Me.

The Australian premiere season will run at QPAC's Lyric Theatre from 8 to 30 January 2022, followed by seasons in Adelaide from February, Perth from February, Melbourne from March and Sydney from April.
