Maltz Jupiter Theatre presents SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, now playing through January 27, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.

Recreating this iconic movie on the stage is an ever-daunting task but has been a staple of the regional theatre scene since it closed on Broadway in the mid 1980s. There are not many noticeable adaptations or deviations from the original Comden and Green 1952 film, and this may be an inherent flaw in the piece. Add to that the obvious preconceptions and expectations nearly every theatergoer has upon venturing out to experience a production, and any producer will know they have their work cut out for them. However, there is also something to be said for the ability to trust such a tried and true combination of song and dance that has the promise to delight on a presentational level, at the very least.

Grab your raincoat and head to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre for an iconic MGM classic musical that is sure to leave you happy again!
