About this show
An OCD, ADHD, gluten-free, Gen-Z, musical comedy! Through stand-up, storytelling and original music, Liv Rocklin chronicles a morbidly overachieving Gen-Zer's showdown with control when studying abroad goes wrong. À la Rachel Bloom and Bo Burnham, Rocklin explores her Paris obsession and fraying brain through seven songs, six languages and five undiagnosed conditions (she's got Bingo!). Listed Best of Orlando Fringe, Liv uses guitar, piano, baguettes and self-deprecation to explore loneliness and growing up in a world burning down. Is she Taylor Swift, Lizzie McGuire, Princess Diana, or just poorly adjusted?

In a city with a million shows, An American (Not) in Paris should make it on your must-see list. Liv Rocklin is in her diva era and everyone deserves to know it.
— Snack (5 out of 5 stars)
Beneath the self-deprecating humour, filled with jokes about her OCD, loneliness and being gluten-free, something more vulnerable and honest is revealed.
