An American in Paris - The Musical

Typically, the movies shown on extra big screens are fast-spaced action flicks, or highly detailed nature documentaries. But the immersive quality of bigger-than-average movie screens can be applied to any genre, even musicals. Rangos Giant Cinema at the Carnegie Science Center will show the screen version of An American in Paris: The Musical, a Broadway show based on the movie of the same name, originally starring Pittsburgh’s own Gene Kelly. The story follows a WWII veteran trying to make it as a painter in Paris, when he falls into a love triangle and has to sing/dance it out. There are very few opportunities in life to see that famous 17-minute dance sequence on a Giant Screen.
