"As a testament to the popularity of what's been called the greatest movie musical ever made and the continual high caliber of Hale Centre Theatre's productions, all 44 performances of their production of Singin' in the Rain were sold out before opening night. Even the additional performances they added have already sold out. With a young and energetic cast who throw themselves into their roles and direction that infuses the show with humor along with delightful dancing, it's a shame the run can't be extended or more performances added so others can experience the joyous and glorious feeling of Hale's production of this beloved, classic musical....Cambrian James' superb direction keeps the pace brisk and the comedy sharp ...There are numerous iconic screen images from the film and James manages to beautifully recreate many of them, including a few that got applause at the opening night performance. James' cast is excellent and his choreography is non-stop...As Don, Vaughn Sherman is full of charm...Abbi Cavanaugh creates a lovely portrayal of Kathy. Sherman and Cavanaugh have realistic onstage chemistry and bright singing voices that excel on their many numbers. Allan DeWitt is engaging, witty, playful, and very rambunctious as Cosmo. .Erica Parrish is simply superb as Lina Lamont....a lovable reminder of how much fun a musical can be..." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...There’s a giddy delight to be had when watching Hale Theatre Centre’s new production of Singin’ in the Rain at its theatre-in-the-round presentation in Gilbert... For the most part, Hale’s Singin’ in the Rain is a mostly joyous production... Most of the Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown’s catalog of MGM songs are intact. Even though the term wasn’t in use during the fifties, Singin’ in the Rain is actually a Jukebox Musical.... David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
