Why see Singin' In The Rain?

hittin' the road

Singin' in the Rain is hitting the road and traveling across the UK once more! Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) film, which starred Gene Kelly, Singin' In The Rain transferred to the West End's Palace Theatre back in 2012, where it racked up an amazing four Olivier Award nominations.

The production's original director, Jonathan Church, and its choreographer, Andrew Wright, are reunited in bringing this musical back to life on stage. Featuring the MGM classics, "Good Morning", "Make Em Laugh," and the iconic "Singin' In The Rain", as well as the breathtaking 'splashing puddles' dance sequence, this brand new run is sure to delight audiences once again.

What is Singin' In The Rain about?

Singin' in the Rain is a wonderful trip through the glamorous golden age of Hollywood. As the story begins, the movie business is transitioning to the new reality of the 'talkies', and finding out that some of their previously bankable stars don't have the most harmonious voices. The plot follows the blossoming romance between leading man Don and the jobbing actress who's hired to dub over his on-screen partner's lines.

SmashTastic vibrancy, humour and stella cast

Oh my! Booked for Kevin clifton, yet wow! The whole cast was fab and Faye really stole my heart as Lina, absolute treasure. Cooper is a beautiful dancer and the iconic scene a treat. Charlotte lovely as Cathy, and Kevin as Cosmos just fab! Would love to also see Faye play Cathy although she did Lina so proud. Worth a visit and a fun evening to be had. Bit of dancing, singing and acting a lush blend for a theatre show all rounder set in the lovely Sadler's Wells theatre. ... Read more

What a show!

I don't know whether the show has improved since the reviews of certain people here in February of last year, but I personally found this show to be the most entertaining, upbeat and heartwarming musical that I have seen in a very long time (and I've seen a lot of the greats on both continents). When your 14 and 11 year old daughters rate it higher than Wicked and Mamma Mia on Broadway or the Wizard of Oz, Hairspray, Oliver, Cats, Phantom or Les Mis in London, you know it must have been something special. Catch the show and decide for yourself - just don't miss it and miss out on making the decision yourself. A well deserved standing ovation tonight. ... Read more
