A celebrated classic of stage and screen, Singin’ in the Rain is a delectable treat of swoon-worthy songs, rollicking tap and dance, and charming storytelling. Based on the “greatest movie musical of all time,” this joyous show takes a look at 1920s Hollywood, when silent films gave way to “talkies” and the electrifying 20th century was on the move. From glorious standards like “You Stepped Out of a Dream” to foot-tapping numbers like “Make ‘Em Laugh” to the show-stopping “Singin’ In the Rain”, this golden-age classic is filled with memorable songs that are sure to have you humming and tapping along to their Broadway rhythm.
