Based on the classic 1952 film, the musical Singing in the Rain takes place in Hollywood in the late 1920s. Silent film stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont experience the impossible transition to talkies, due to Lina's high-pitched voice, which makes the audience laugh.
Enhanced by accurate doses of comedy, romance, dance and tap dancing, the plot heats up with Don's unexpected passion for the chorus girl hired to dub the superstar Lina. The musical is great fun and suitable for the whole family, with unforgettable choreography, as well as the memorable number from the song “Singin’ in the Rain”, taken to the stage with the technical challenge of making it rain on stage.
