Album Review: Singin' In The Rain (2012 London Cast Recording)

What I love most about the 2012 London cast recording of Singin' In The Rain is that it is more than just a cast recording. It is also an album containing great vocalists singing great versions of classic songs. The album captures the magic of the show which is not something cast albums always manage to achieve.

It’s the roaring ’20s and silent movie stars are the biggest names in the world. Don Lockwood has it all, a string of hit films and a studio-engineered romance with the most beautiful actress in town. But with the new phenomenon of the talking picture on the way and a chance meeting with a talented young chorus girl set to steal his heart, things are about to change for Don and for Hollywood forever.
