Overseas critics laud joint Pittsburgh CLO, Chatelet production 'American in Paris'

TribLIVE: European theater critics are singing the praises of “An American in Paris.”

“I would beg, borrow or steal to see it all again,” says Francis Carlin in London's Financial Times.

The musical, inspired by the Oscar-winning 1951 film that starred East Liberty native Gene Kelly, opened in Paris on Dec. 10 as a joint production between Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera and Theatre du Chatelet under the guidance of Van Kaplan, CLO's executive producer, and Stuart Oken.
