Are you enjoying your time in Singin’ In The Rain?
Are you enjoying your time in Singin’ In The Rain?
Yes, I have been a fan of the MGM film for many years and so was thrilled to be offered it when it was being staged in Chichester last year. The transfer to London was a huge bonus for us all and we are still having a splashing time!
Why do you think the show is so popular?
I believe everyone has grown up with the film and this new production on stage retains the same feel good quality – countless well-known tunes, a great story and the iconic dance routine that leaves the front seven rows a little damp!
