Texas in Paris
A World Premiere Musical Play
By Alan Govenar
With Spirituals, Cowboy Songs and Country Hymns
Directed by Akin Babatunde 

“A MUSICAL PLAY THAT IS AS MUCH ABOUT RACE RELATIONS IN AMERICA AS IT IS ABOUT THE SPIRITUALS AND COWBOY SONGS THAT RUN THROUGH IT…THE ACTORS PERFORMANCES ARE BEAUTIFULLY CALIBRATED; [THEIR] ENERGY AND SKILL IRRESISTIBLE.“
-THE NEW YORK TIMES

The York Theatre Company continues to push the boundaries of musical theatre with this tapestry of regional American music. Based on true events, Texas in Paris is the musical journey of a man and a woman — one white, one black – invited to France to perform at the Maison des Cultures du Monde. They have never met, have no professional singing experience, and face the challenge of working together and co-existing in an unfamiliar world. Apprehensive of each other, they struggle with preconceptions but forge a surprising spiritual bond that transforms their on-stage performance and their lives.
