Detail: Singin' in the Rain

Screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Music by Nacio Herb Brown
Lyrics by Arthur Freed

Its 1920s Hollywood and the film studios are in stiff competition to release the first “talkie.” Studio exec R.F. Simpson has no choice but to convert the new silent film of Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont to a “talkie” but there’s only one problem…Lina Lamont’s grating voice. In a pickle, Simpson cleverly dubs over Lina’s voice with newcomer Kathy Seldon; but on opening night, the crowd begs Lina to sing! Complete with an onstage rainstorm, this production with hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and an unbelievable score including “Singin’ In The Rain”, “Make ‘Em Laugh”, and “All I Do is Dream of You”, is the perfect light hearted celebration of the golden ages of musicals!
