The stage musical adaptation of the classic MGM film returns to Milton Keynes Theatre, with original director Jonathan Church and choreographer Andrew Wright.
Singin' In The Rain comes to Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday 23 March, running through to Saturday 27 March. It's a stage adaptation of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film that starred Gene Kelly, and it's not the first time it's made the jump to the stage: it transferred to the West End's Palace Theatre in 2012, where it picked up four Olivier Award nominations.
The original director, Jonathan Church, and choreographer, Andrew Wright, are reuniting to bring it back, and they're keeping the MGM classics as the centrepiece. You'll get 'Good Morning', 'Make Em Laugh', and the title track, plus the splashing puddles dance sequence. It's a show built on tap, with choreographed routines running through the whole thing.
The story is set in the golden age of Hollywood, when the film business was switching from silent pictures to the talkies. It follows the romance between leading man Don Lockwood and the aspiring actress hired to dub over his on-screen partner's lines. The whole thing is brought to life with live performers on stage, so the singing and dancing happen right there in front of you rather than being recorded.
