It goes to show you are never too old to be splashing in puddles, to be falling in love or to be ‘ Singin’ in the Rain’. During the final number, a rousing rendition of ‘ Singin’ in the Rain’ which included the whole cast, there was a lot of playfulness and regression and some audience interaction. What was truly wonderful to see and experience, was how much the cast enjoyed themselves. With pitch perfect wit, an abundance of charm, ‘ Make ‘Em Laugh’ was masterfully, if not manically performed, with amazing acrobatics and classic slapstick. I offer no spoilers, but the way the show honors ‘ Singin’ in the Rain’, the film’s most iconic musical sequence, with over 14,000 liters of water used on stage each night, its executed with flair and aplomb. Sam Lips, Charlotte Gooch, Ross McLaren & Jenny Gayner are spectacular in this critically acclaimed production of Singin’ in the Rain, and along with a hugely talented ensemble cast they dazzle with colour, comedy and a tsunami of talent. The diva in Lina Lockwood will never stand for this and what ensues is as entertaining and enthralling as what occurred in the motion picture first seen in 1952.

Singin’ in the Rain is about the dashing, one dimensional, romantic/ swashbuckling silent film star and matinee idol, Don Lockwood and his glamorous blonde screen partner/deplorable diva, Lina Lamont. Set to the infectious MGM score including the melodies “ Make ‘em Laugh” and “ Singin’ in the Rain”, Jonathan Church’s acclaimed stage production is a perfect tribute to this beloved film. Originally a masterpiece of American cinema, Singin’ in the Rain is often regarded as one of the best films of all time, receiving two Academy Award nominations and featuring on countless ‘Best Of’ lists ever since. I knew I was in for a treat when the delightful ladies serving me pre-show drinks were bristling with excitement and overflowing with a multitude of accolades for Singin’ in the Rain.
