Set in glitzy, glamorous Hollywood in the roaring ’20s, this lighthearted and funny tale centers on Don Lockwood (Broadway’s Tony Yazbeck), a film star who finds love while navigating the ever-changing world of showbiz. Don and Lina Lamont are the toast of Tinseltown and the biggest silent stars at Monumental Pictures, but when their latest film is set to be a “talkie,” the studio executives need to find a way to conceal Lina’s terrible voice. Up-and-coming starlet Kathy Seldon, Don’s new girlfriend, is hired to provide the on-screen voice for Lina but complications quickly arise. SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN is a feel-good love story that features exhilarating choreography and a glorious score including “Good Morning,” “Make “em Laugh,” “Moses Supposes” and “Singin’ in the Rain.”
