Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, Singin’ in the Rain transports audiences to Hollywood during the transition from silent movies to talking pictures.
Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont appear to be the perfect silver screen couple, but when the arrival of “talkies” threatens their careers, aspiring actress Kathy Seldon becomes central to saving the studio’s latest production.
The stage adaptation features beloved songs including “Good Morning”, “Make ’em Laugh” and the title number “Singin’ in the Rain”, alongside high-energy choreography and a production famous for using more than 14,000 litres of water on stage.
The production is directed by Jonathan Church, with choreography by Andrew Wright, additional choreography by Jayne Elster, set and costume design by Simon Higlett, lighting design by Tim Mitchell, sound design by Gareth Owen, video design by Ian Galloway and musical supervision by Robert Scott.
