One of the greatest musicals of all time, live on stage! Made famous by stunning tap dance routines and memorable music, it’s Singin’ in the Rain in all its technicolour glory, with live music, dance, and, of course, rain!
Silent movie stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are riding high, loved by audiences and studio execs alike – but not by each other! They couldn’t be more different. And they’re even more at odds when the ‘talkies’ come along – a disaster for Lina, whose vocal range leaves a lot to be desired.
Desperate for the box office favourites to remain at the top, a talented chorus girl, Kathy, is brought in to provide Lina’s singing voice, setting off a series of events that no movie exec could ever have scripted…
Featuring all the memorable songs from the 1952 MGM film, including Good Morning, Make ‘Em Laugh, and, of course, Singin’ in the Rain!
