The classic musical comedy comes to Cambridge’s ADC Theatre
From 5 to 9 April, toe-tap down to the ADC Theatre to catch Pied Pipers’ production of this classic musical comedy. With music by Nacio Herb Brown and lyrics by Arthur Freed, Singin’ in the Rain is based on the book by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. It’s set in the twilight years of the silent film era in Hollywood and follows the movie star Don Lockwood, his sidekick Cosmo Brown, aspiring actress Kathy Selden, and Don’s abrasive co-star Lina Lamont.
Will they conquer Lina’s grating speaking voice? Will the studio manage to accommodate the new changes in technology sweeping through Hollywood? Perhaps most importantly of all, will Don ever earn Kathy’s respect, and her affections?
There’ll be drama, humour, romance and a whole host of breathtaking musical numbers to sweep you off your feet in this charming, fast-paced show.
And finally, don’t forget to bring your umbrellas – apparently there’s a good chance audiences might be needing them!
