We saw an awful lot of plays in London, part 3

Today we saw American in Paris. Their was so many bright colors and the dancing was flabbergasting (I love that word!) it was a lot of ballet. There is actually a movie and it was made in 1951 with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The movie was very different from the Musical they added a bunch of new things. They had beautiful costumes that were very pretty. It is about an American who just got finished serving for the war and he decided to stay in Paris. He starts painting and he not bad. Then he met a guy at a café that played the piano and doing songs for a ballet. He went to a rehearsal with the piano player and met a beautiful girl named Liz but he liked to call her Liza. He winds up falling in love with her but he does not know that one of his best friends (Henri) is engaged to her. Henri is a night club singer but his parents do not know and he sings I'll build a stairway to paradise.



 At the intermission we got Haagen Daz my mom got Praline and cream and I got Chocolate. My mom talked to the lady sitting next to her and found out that she had turned 99 years old 3 days earlier. She was a ballerina when she was young and she told us we should to see the Royal Ballet.
