Well known accordionist Dr. William Schimmel is the accordionist on the soundtrack album of "An American in Paris" which has just been nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award. An American in Paris is the romantic story of a young American soldier, a beautiful French girl and an indomitable European city which are at the heart of Broadway’s breathtakingly beautiful new musical. An American in Paris is a four-time Tony Award-winning production that also earned the awards for Best Musical of the Year from both the Outer Critics Circle and the Drama League. Christopher Wheeldon directs and choreographs a remarkable company of 25 international and Broadway virtuosos as they bring the magic and romance of Paris into perfect harmony with award winning orchestrations of unforgettable works by George and Ira Gershwin, including such classics as “I’ll Build A Stairway to Paradise,” “I Got Rhythm” and “The Man I Love.” The show is now taking place at The Palace Theatre, 1564 Broadway, New York, New York. |
