An American in Paris opened in April. This Broadway ballet/musical was NOMINATED for Drama Desk Awards, Tony Awards, Drama League Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, and Astarie Awards... The AWARDS include for best choreography, best orchestrations, best scienic design in a musical, and so much more. (Fun fact: I saw this ballet/musical when I went on a New York trip in May 2015 with my highschool. It was my first Broadway musical on Broadway!! I think it's crazy I'm researching the choreographer because I really loved this ballet/musical!)

This is a ballet and also a musical.
