Through stand up, musical comedy, and storytelling, Liv Rocklin takes you through her experience of a morbidly overachieving American Gen-Zer losing control of her plans, body, and youth for the first time in Paris, France, while living out her Lizzie McGuire moment… or as the French say… moment.
In the style of Rachel Bloom and Bo Burnham, the show explores Liv’s obsession with control and the innermost workings of her fraying brain through 7 songs, 6 languages, and 5 undiagnosed conditions (she’s got Bingo!).
In a final showdown to keep control, she tries to win study abroad, Weight Watchers, and therapy but loses it all over a glass of wine spiked with Benadryl on an American Airlines flight home.
An American (not) in Paris portrays the experience of loneliness, the inimitability of youth, and the reality check of growing up in a relatable, heartfelt, and ultimately laughter and smile inspiring way. You’ll leave hating Americans and Gen Z a little less (no promises, I guess).
By the end, you’ll be wondering if she’s Britney Spears, Princess Diana, Taylor Swift, or just poorly adjusted. C’est La Vie!
