More Theater Monday - An American Not in Paris

We received a complimentary ticket to An American Not in Paris for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: An American Not in Paris

Where: 59E59 Theaters

             59 E. 59 St.

             New York, NY

When: This event took place on July 9, July 18 & July 26

Liv Rocklin always wanted to go to Paris, and when she finally got there for a study abroad program, the pandemic hit. Engagingly told partly through storytelling, partly through amusing songs, this is the story not only of a dream gone wrong but of coping with OCD, ADHD, gluten allergies, and just life in general. Even though the show is very specific to its writer/performer, having to literally and emotionally pivot when life goes in an unexpected direction is something we can all relate to. This show is a little bit sad, a little bit funny, and surprisingly cathartic for us all. 

And that's our view. An American Not in Paris was the last of 59E59's East to Edinburgh Festival shows we will cover this year,  and it can now be seen there. For more information or to purchase tickets to see it at the festival, go to www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/an-american-not-in-paris
