Nick Spangler and the An American in Paris Touring Company. Sara Esty and Garen Scribner in An American in Paris. Photos by Matthew Murphy.

An American in Paris, the new Tony Award®-winning musical inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, brings its first national tour to Nashville with a one-week engagement at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall October 31 – November 5.

Earning more awards than any other musical in the 2015 season, An American in Paris is the romantic story about an American soldier, a mysterious French girl, and an indomitable European city, each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of war.

Acclaimed director/choreographer and 2015 Tony Award® winner Christopher Wheeldon brings the magic and romance of Paris into perfect harmony with unforgettable songs from George and Ira Gershwin, including "I Got Rhythm," "Liza," "’S Wonderful," "But Not for Me," "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise," as well as orchestral music including "Concerto in F," "Second Prelude," "Second Rhapsody/Cuban Overture," and "An American In Paris."

The New York Times raves, “An American in Paris is a triumph! Pure joy!” and The Wall Street Journal declares, “Once you’ve seen it, you’ll find it hard to settle for less ever again.”

Tickets for An American in Paris are on sale now at TPAC.org, by phone at 615-782-4040, and at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick Street, in downtown Nashville. For groups of 10 or more, call 615-782-4060.
