LONDON’S NEW HIT MUSICAL
EXTENDS ENGAGEMENT FOR A SECOND TIME
TICKETS NOW ON SALE TO 28 APRIL 2018
Christopher Wheeldon’s stunning reinvention of the Oscar® winning Hollywood musical An American in Paris, has extended its engagement for a second time, with tickets now on sale until Saturday 28 April 2018.
An American in Paris has been ecstatically received by audiences and critics, earning an incredible 28 five star reviews, since opening at the magnificently restored Dominion Theatre in March this year.

Following a chance encounter with a beautiful young dancer named Lise, the streets of Paris become the backdrop to a sensuous, modern romance of art, friendship and love in the aftermath of war…
