What's it all about?
Gene Kelly tap-dancing for all he’s worth as the rain buckets down on his battered brolly — it’s regularly voted one of the greatest movie moments of all time. Now you can re-live it as the Chichester Festival production that’s been showered with praise hot-foots it into town.
With dazzling dance sequences and memorable melodies – including, of course, that wonderful title song – you’re sure to leave Singin' In The Rain with “that glorious feeling you’re happy again”.
Who's in it?
You may recognise Adam Cooper, who plays Don, as the adult Billy Elliot from the spectacular closing moments of the Oscar-winning Brit-flick. With this former principal of the Royal Ballet in the lead alongside Mary Poppins’ stars Scarlett Strallen and Daniel Crossley, you’re guaranteed to see them dance up a storm.
But it’s the legendary tune 'Singin’ In The Rain' that will put the sun in your heart and a smile on your face as the heavens open and Cooper puts his best foot forward – not to mention all the other classics, from 'Good Morning' to 'Make 'em Laugh', 'Moses Supposes' and 'You Were Meant for Me'.
Suitable for
This is a rare chance to catch a real dance pro stepping into Gene Kelly’s shoes. So if you remember the movie first time around, you’ll love the sensational dance routines – which took days to film, but are performed here with panache night after night.
And it’s not just dance devotees who will be wowed by Singin' In The Rain. Film fans will particularly appreciate the silent movie spoofs that have been made specially for this show, while youngsters will enjoy the comic talents of the clownish Cosmo and laughable Lina.
What's the story?
It’s the roaring 20s and ‘talkies’ are about to become the next big thing. That’s bad news for silent movie stars, particularly the hammy Don Lockwood and his annoyingly squeaky-voiced leading lady Lina Lamont. Could the solution be young chorus girl Kathy’s cracking voice?
You’ll be rooting for the hilariously awful Lina to get her just deserts, for the film to be a hit and for Don to finally realise that he and Kathy are meant to be.
Staff Reviews
Singin' in the Rain takes you back in time - you feel like you're there in 1927. I remember watching the film with my parents many years ago and this show had all the magic ingredients and more. Now, a whole new generation who have never heard of the original film will be able to watch it, as it's a good family show for young and old and anyone who loves really good, old fashioned theatre. Spectacular.
Singin' in the Rain is a good, solid revival which is fun, energetic and feel-good. It's in a beautiful venue too at the Palace Theatre, which suits it. It's a good, safe choice of a show for fans of the film. A word of warning, though - only sit at the front if you want to get wet!
What the critics say
A highly polished show with plenty to admire...will be making quite a splash in the West End for some time to come
Rapturously enjoyable
Crowd-pleasing stuff
One of the hits of the year. Go get soaked
The perfect, potent pick-me-up...with thrillingly inventive choreography...This is a night of sheer delight
Never puts a foot wrong. It could be raining in Shaftesbury Avenue for quite a long time
I’ve a glorious feeling this all-tapping, all-splashing show will put a smile on anyone’s face
Customer Reviews
I bought two meal deal tickets. The meal was great and we also thought the show was brilliant. Looking at booking another show soon.
It was wonderful! My friends and I went having no expectations and were blown away - from the comedic value of the actors to the ensembles dancing ability and then the effects, the show was mesmerising from start to finish. The beautiful theatre was a great setting for this fabulous musical, that I would recommend to anybody!
brilliant one of the best I.ve seen recently for sure thoroughly enjoyed watching the people in the front row get soaked great dancers
I was "Singing in the Rain" as I left the theatre, I even danced down the tube steps. What a great show, memorable tunes, fabulous dancing and FUN
Enjoyed the show but was a bit disappointed. Can't put my finger on why but it lacked something. This is my all time favourite film so it had a lot to live up to. Didn't think the leading man was right for the part, he didn't ring true somehow. Lina Lamont was brilliant, hope she looks after her voice, having to screech like that all the time!
Great show ! The cast are magnificent, glad I wasnt in the first rows at the front though- they all got soaked with the rain !
