The London production opened at the Dominion Theatre in London's West End on 21 March 2017 where it was greeted with fantastic five-star reviews from 28 different publications.

Inspired by the Oscar-winning film of the same name which starred Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, the stage production of An American in Paris features many of George and Ira Gershwin's most iconic songs including "I Got Rhythm", "'S Wonderful", "I'll Build a Stairway To Paradise" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me", alongside some of Gershwin's sweeping compositions including "Concerto in F", "Cuban Overture" and of course, the iconic "An American in Paris".

Artistic Associate of the Royal Ballet Christopher Wheeldon has reinvented the production which brings together exceptional scenic designs with a stirring score and acclaimed choreography. The Broadway production was nominated for 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as eight Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical. At the 2015 ceremony it went on to win 4 Tony Awards for Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Orchestrations, Best Lighting Design of a Musical and Best Choreography.

The West End production is led by original Broadway star Leanne Cope who created the role of Lise Dassin in Paris and New York. West End regular Ashley Day takes on the role of Jerry Mulligan, made famous in the film by Gene Kelly. They are joined in London by Haydn Oakley, Zoë Rainey, David Seadon-Young and Jane Asher.

An American in Paris follows Jerry Mulligan, an American GI pursuing his dream to make it as painter in a city suddenly bursting with hope and possibility. 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...

The musical score is adapted, arranged and supervised by Rob Fisher with orchestrations by Christopher Austin and Bill Elliott, dance arrangements by Sam Davis and musical supervision by Todd Ellison.
