Synopsis
MGM’s mega-hit musical Singin’ in the Rain is widely considered the finest movie musical ever! And it is! You’ll laugh and sing along with all the hits such as “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Make ‘em Laugh”, and “Moses Supposes”. Incredible singing, tap-dancing, and powerhouse performances will entertain you like never before. The big question remains - will it really rain on our stage? Singin' in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! 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 a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.
