ABOUT THE SHOW
Singin' in the Rain, often called the "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time," is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number.
In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of Kathy Selden, a talented young actress, to do the talking and singing for her.
This production will feature a 17-piece orchestra and 16 cast members and will include all entire score, libretto and feature costumes and choreography.
