Singing in the Rain

Went to see Singing in the Rain on the weekend at the Palace Theatre in London and felt it worthy of a posting - not least as we actually had "A Weekend away from the CHILDREN!"

The show itself was very entertaining and the biggest pull was definitely the real "rain" scene.

Those sitting on the front seats were treated to regular showers of rain when the "Singing in the Rain" took place near them and resulted in anticipated howls of "mock shock" which then reverberated around the theatre and added real excitement to the set.

The singing was not the strongest feature of the production I felt but I loved the set dance pieces and the way in which the nearest and dearest's favourite film has been reproduced for a theatre audience.  

Well worth a watch if you are a Gene Kelly fan and especially so in the front seats!

Here is the show trailer which is pretty much spot on given what we saw.
