Giango de' Julio

The Nuovo of Milan must have been the third stage of the tour of "An American in Paris". Instead a dangerous accident to an eye prevented Christian De Sica, and so his troupe, to perform the deadline.
In any case the reader must not misinterpret, it does not concern the put on stage of the Hollywood musical, but a tribute to Gorge Gershwin. The story is set in Paris the same and gives big space to song and dance, going over the most famous successes of the American compositor.

It's no use saying that the expectation of the public was directed specially to the leading man, Christian De Sica, whose versatility we know, but also his inclination toward artistic choices, rather light. On the other side just De Sica, in the launching press conference, admitted that certain movies that are a commercial successes but surely not unforgettable allow him shotting more serious movies, as a director, and making daring theatrical choices, as this one undoubtedly is.

He is the son of the great Vittorio, he copes well in the role of actor-singer-dancer, sided by a well structured cast: an experienced actress as Monica Scattini, a growing popularity soubrette (Lorenza Mario), a dancer (Manuel Frattini) and a "faithful" actor of his (Paolo Conticini).
Without forgetting a twenty elements orchestra, directed by Marco Tiso and the supervision of Franco Miseria, director and choreographer of the spectacle.

In these years of great success of musicals in Italy, also "An American in Paris" will likely be an event also in Naples, where the spectacle will arrive in some weeks.
