We don’t often welcome the rain in the West End but for the return of one of Hollywood’s most celebrated musicals we’re willing to pack our umbrellas and make an exception.

As in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Singin’ in the Rain, Jonathan Church brings this much-loved classic to the stage at London’s Palace Theatre.

And with the 1952 MGM film, starring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds, regarded as somewhat of a legend by many contemporary critics, he and choreographer Andrew Wright certainly have their work cut out.

Set in Hollywood, the story follows successful silent movies star Don Lockwood as he tries to overcome a change in the film industry where ‘talkies’ – films where actors talk, sing and dance – are fastly becoming the media of choice.

Considered one of the most beloved and enduring movie musicals of all time, Singin’ in the Rain is not only known for its spectacular dancing but also its impressive score, featuring songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. Favourites include ‘Make ‘em Laugh’, ‘Good Morning’, ‘Moses Supposes’ and ‘Singin’ in the Rain’.

Following an extended sell-out stint at the Chichester Festival Theatre, the West End cast includes the multi-award winning Adam Cooper as Don Lockwood, Daniel Crossley as Cosmo Brown, Scarlett Strallen as Kathy Seldon and Katherine Kingsley as Lina Lamont. Michael Brandon, who is best known for playing Dempsey in the television series Dempsey and Makepeace and the title role in Jerry Springer - The Opera, will also reprise his role of RF Simpson.
