Singin’ In The Rain
March 2022, ADC Theatre
Associate Director
Singin’ in the Rain brings you the classic, golden-age movie musical adapted for the stage, featuring some of the best-loved comedy routines, toe-tapping dance numbers, and classic musical theatre songs: “Good Mornin’”, “Make ‘em Laugh”, “Broadway Melody”, and the show-stopping title number “Singin’ in the Rain”. The show captures the Hollywood movie transition from silent pictures to the new ‘talkies’, following film co-stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont. When Monumental Studios turns silent ‘The Dueling Cavalier’ into an all-singing, all-dancing ‘The Dancing Cavalier’, they are faced with a problem – Lina’s shrill and squeaky voice which might just end her career. As Kathy Selden, an aspiring actress, steps in to save the studio, she begins to fall in love, leaving Don Lockwood with difficult decisions both on and off screen. Pouring with laughs, charm, romance, and wit, expect high-energy dance routines and classic songs from the movie, added with its spectacular stage effects for this year’s Lent Term Musical!
