Singin’ In The Rain makes a splash
There was no chance of rain dampening spirits for Singin’ In The Rain cast members, when they took their umbrellas for a spin at The Mailbox’s colourful new installation.
The cast are currently making a splash at Birmingham Hippodrome, taking audiences on a journey back to the glamour of Hollywood during the roaring 20’s. Featuring Andrew Wright’s high-energy choreography and Simon Higlett’s sumptuous set design (including over 14,000 litres of water on stage every night), Singin’ In The Rain features the glorious MGM score including Good Morning, Make ‘em Laugh, Moses Supposes and the legendary Singin’ in the Rain.
We also invited Birmingham media and audiences to Singin’ In The Rain.

Weekend Notes ★★★★★
“The great Gene Kelly may be long gone but the essence of him in this musical continues. It’s a spectacular, high calibre show that doesn’t disappoint…”
“The show was very funny in parts, something that I didn’t expect prior to the show. I particularly liked the ‘slapstick’ scene – “Make’Em Laugh” which was all about Cosmo. He was brilliant – very funny and very clever choreography.”
“As entertaining evenings at the theatre go, this one really is raining gold stars. The show has energy and enthusiasm in abundance and provides everything you could wish for in a work of musical theatre.”
