Her performance was critically acclaimed, and Cope received both Drama Desk and Tony Award nominations for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical.

[1] In 2014, while dancing in The Royal Ballet's Swan Lake, Cope was spotted by Christopher Wheeldon, who was looking for a leading actress for his stage version of the film An American in Paris.

[4] The show, also starring Robert Fairchild as Jerry, opened on 12 April,[5] and Cope received praise for her performance.

In a review, David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Cope "has delicacy and charm; she's a confident singer, and while there's only a passing physical resemblance, her diminutive size and that chic French bob subtly recall Caron.
