Singin' in the Rain Reviews

Garth Pearce from London, England

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN LACKS THE WOW FACTOR.

A good, pleasant night out rather than a great, exciting one. I spent the entire first half waiting for the show to take off but it never quite makes it, even with the title song. The star, Adam Cooper, is simply not a star on stage. He looks, sounds and dances like a good man to have in the chorus. But even though that's impossible to put right - the poor man can't gain charisma for the First Night - it needs more sound, better lighting, greater glamour, sharper costumes, real sex appeal and punch. It's as if the director and his artistic staff have played safe. A show like this should leave you feeling as if you could dance and sing in the street, rather than just trundle off to the tube.

GOOD TOE TAPPING, HUMMING ON THE WAY HOME MUSICAL

This is a great musical, so it is going to be a good toe tapping evening with songs to hum on the way home. Having said that, I do wish the leading actors were a bit stronger, showed off a bit more personality. I saw it in a full house on Valentine's Day before the official opening, so I expect it will improve.

REVIEW

This show starts off slow but builds up into an enjoyable experience.

NO STAR QUALITY

After paying £187 for two tickets then not being told that Barbara Dickinson wasn't appearing and then to buy a program with no information in it other then photographs of unknowns I was most disappointed. The show was mediocre and nothing to write home about.

MISSING THE POP, COMEDY AND CHARM OF SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

I was thoroughly disappointed by the show which really did surprise me. Of course nothing could be better than the original and maybe I shouldn't have expected the same. The dance sequences were too little dance, the title sequence didn't capture the emotion of the song. Don was less then charming. Kathy was not the cheeky, confident lady. And cosmo was not the bag full of energy and lovable like the Cosmo I love. Lena Lamont (Katherine Kingsley) stole the show and really did Miss Lena Lamont Justice whilst making the character her own. Another stand out character was Don's voice coach, he had all the punch the show should have! All in all, the show was pleasant but did not pay good enough tribute to the great production that was Singin' In The Rain. I miss the comedy, dancing and charm the comes with Singin' In The Rain

NOT GOOD! MUST IMPROVE

I left in the middle of the show. Really lacks of momentum, lacks of the ability to engage the public with the talent they have on stage. A true disappointment and a shame. Where is the artistic passion of engaging the public without boring them and twisting the story to be more cheesy than artistic.
