1920's Hollywood during the waning days of the silent screen era is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture stars. This fun musical theatre romp focuses on romantic lead Don Lockwood, his sidekick Cosmo Brown, aspiring actress Kathy Selden, and Lockwood's leading lady Lina Lamont, whose less-than-dulcet vocal tones make her an unlikely candidate for stardom in talking pictures.
Singin’ in the Rain is based on the classic MGM film with a screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. Way Off Broadway’s production will run March 28 – May 31, 2014, and will be directed by the theatre’s Executive Producer, Bill Kiska, with choreography by Dee Buchanan and music direction by Jordan B. Stocksdale.
