Singin' in the Rain is hailed as the "greatest movie musical of all time", and the Franklin Classical School Players are pleased to present the stage adaptation of this beloved classic! Directed by Melissa Austin, with choreography by Mattie Tichenor and Miranda Mathies, Singin' in the Rain is thrilling and entertaining for every age!
On-screen couple Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are Hollywood's biggest stars of silent film. But with the premiere of The Jazz Singer as the first "talking picture", studios are forced to follow suit or get left behind. The problem for Monumental Pictures is, Lina's squeaky voice is something like nails on a chalkboard! Enter talented young actress, Kathy Seldon, who sacrifices her own career to become Lina Lamont's onscreen voice. Audiences are not fooled for long, though, and we are reminded that, although things are not always as they seem, truth wins in the end!
The FCS Players' production of Singin' in the Rain features a cast and crew of 48 students, and highlights the best of dancing and singing in such numbers as "Good Morning", "Make 'Em Laugh", and of course, "Singin' in the Rain". Families will enjoy every moment, and you will not stop humming the songs for weeks to come!
