McGee Maddox with cast of 'An American in Paris'
We chatted with McGee Maddox who plays Jerry Mulligan in “An American in Paris” coming to Nashville October 31-November 5,
Q: What drew you to musical theater, more specifically “An American in Paris”?
A: I have always looked for ways to expand my skills as a performing artist and musical theater seemed like a natural next step for me coming from a purely dance background. Knowing that Chris Wheeldon was at the helm of “An American in Paris” made this show and venture most appealing.
Q: What has been the most challenging part of transitioning from ballet to musical theater?
A: The performance schedule. As a principal ballet dancer I might perform two maybe three times a week. With this show I’m onstage 6 nights a week.
Q: What can audiences expect when coming to see the show?
A: The most talented group of singers, actors and dancers in the country.
Q: Do you see any similarities between yourself and Jerry Mulligan?
A: We are both artists. We look for the beauty in all things.
Q: What have you done to make the role your own?
A: I can’t tell you all of my secrets.
Q: What do you hope audiences take away from the performance?
A: The joy and love that our company bring to the stage night after night to tell this story.

It means you’ll be unable to see the entire stage from those seats.
We sell these seats because for many fans the limited view is not a problem, and the tickets are clearly labeled at time of purchase (see photo below). Limited view seating varies event to event and could be something as small as a tiny corner of the stage being blocked from view. Call our box office at 615-782-4040 for additional information on limited view seating.
Seats marked with “Limited View” during purchase path
Many shows impose ticket limits to allow as many people as possible to have equal access to seats. This is done as a deterrent to third party vendors, i.e. scalpers, who may purchase large blocks of seats and then resell them online at an inflated cost. The term “household” refers to any shared information on one or more accounts. This includes, but may not be limited to matching names, mailing and billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Any households that purchase more than the allowed number of tickets may have their order(s) refunded without notice.
