Congratulations to the 2015 Broadway production of An American in Paris, directed by Christopher Wheeldon! The Gershwin-inspired ballet-musical made a strong showing at the 2015 Tony Awards with 12 nominations and 4 wins, the latter including:

Christopher Wheeldon for Best Choreography
Christopher Austin, Don Sebesky, and Bill Elliott for Best Orchestrations
Bob Crowley and 59 Productions for Best Scenic Design of a Musical
Natasha Katz for Best Lighting Design of a Musical

Congratulations to the actors, producers, and those who brought Ira and George’s music to the stage. Thank you for keeping their artistry alive!

Note that the Gershwin Critical Edition’s new score and parts for the original orchestral work An American in Paris is currently underway. We expect to test run a draft version with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra in February 2016, conducted by Gershwin Edition Advisory Board member and U-Michigan alumna Laura Jackson.
