Making a splash from the moment it premiered, this sensational production of Singin’ in the Rain extended its run in Chichester UK due to unprecedented public demand, before transferring to the famous Palace Theatre in London. Now, after a sell-out West End season, unparalleled praise from critics and audiences alike, four Olivier Award nominations, and a major UK tour, Singin’ in the Rain is set to delight New Zealand audiences.
This spectacular show is packed full of the charm, romance, comedy and tinseltown glamour of one of the world’s best-loved movies. It tells the story of the first Hollywood musical, when the silver screen found its voice and left silent movies – and some of its stars – behind.
As well as glorious songs including Good Morning, Make ‘em Laugh, Moses Supposes and the classic Singin’ in the Rain, the movie’s iconic choreography is flawlessly recreated, and with the help of 12,000 litres of water, the audience can enjoy one of the most famous dance routines live on stage.
