The performance features the luminescent and shimmering Fools Paradise, The Two of Us - a wistful duet set to Joni Mitchell, Us - a tender duet danced by two men and originally created by BalletBoyz, and the memorable ballet scene from Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris.
2hr 25min. Incl. 2 intervals.
