About the Show

The only Richard Rodgers Broadway musical for which he wrote both music and lyrics offers a story about the allure of Paris and its seductive embrace.

From the show:

A successful high-fashion model from Harlem meets and falls in love with an American writer who has made Paris his home. Convinced that their love only needs one another to survive, they embark on a romantic adventure through Europe, clinging to the City of Lights as the harsh reality of America threatens their union. Songs include: “The Sweetest Sounds,” “No Strings,” and “Nobody Told Me.”

Excruciating, Dull, Tedious, Disappointing

See it if you want to spend 2 hours in the theatre in order to hear one good song and its reprise.Cast was WAY too large for the small set.Good choreo

Don't see it if you are looking for anything other than a college or community production.Acting was uneven, with a few good performances.Good costumes.

Dated, Excruciatingly slow

See it if you want to see a Rodgers' show for which he also wrote lyrics. This may be your last chance to catch this one.

Don't see it if you want an enjoyable night out, or if you have no interest in Rodgers or Broadway in the 60s. Read more
