You remember the plot. You love the characters. You know "The Song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most beloved films of all time. One of the most celebrated film musicals of all time, Singin' in the Rain was released in 1952, and is known for its title song as well as such favorites as "Make 'Em Laugh," "Good Morning" and "Should I."
1920's Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star. The MGM classic has been faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green from their original award-winning screenplay. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance, is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue, and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.
Here is the vital information you will need to see and enjoy this timeless classic, again, complete with an onstage rainstorm!
