Singin' In The Rain description

Love musical theatre? There's a spectacular new production of Singin' in the Rain in town!

Think 'iconic musical' and you'll probably put Singin' in the Rain at the top of your list. This lush new version of the beloved classic is based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie, and it's back in town for summer at Sadler's Wells for a strictly limited run.

The perfect choice for a joyous experience, this is a masterpiece in gorgeous choreography, dazzling comedy and iconic show tunes, all thanks to Andrew Wright's brilliant staging including a full-on, real-feeling rainstorm at the end. You'll gasp as more than fourteen thousand litres of water rains down on the stage. And you'll recognise the legendary show tunes including Good Morning, Make 'em Laugh, Moses Supposes, and of course Singin' in the Rain itself.

The plot? We go back to the final days of Hollywood's golden age, when glittering silent movie stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are forced to admit that the 'talkies' – talking movies - are about to change their world forever. When the wannabe actor Kathy Selden is brought in to save the film studio's latest movie, chaos ensues.

Director Jonathan Church leads the creative team, with Choreography by Andrew Wright and Additional Choreography from Jayne Elster. The Set and Costume Design comes from Simon Higlett, the Lighting Design from Tim Mitchell and the Sound Design by Gareth Owen. Video Design by Ian Galloway, Musical Supervision by Robert Scott, Orchestration by Larry Blank, and Screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green complete the picture. The beautiful show tunes are by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed.
