SINGIN' IN THE RAIN Comes To The Kentucky Center 7/10-19

After bursting onto the silver screen in 1952, Singin' In Rain quickly became one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time. Join Music Theatre Louisville as they present the dance sensation Singin' In the Rain, July 10-12, 14-19, 7:30 p.m.; Matinee, July 12 & 18, 2:00 p.m. at The Kentucky Center, Bomhard Theater.

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! 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", this production is the perfect light hearted celebration of the golden ages of musicals!

Starring Pete Lay (Louisville Ballet) as Don Lockwood, Dustin Rayburn (42nd Street, MTL) as CosMo Brown, and Carman Napier (YPAS Alum) as Kathy Selden, this production is directed by Jon Huffman, who carries a well rounded resume including recurring roles in television series (Days Of Our Lives, Designing Women, General Hospital), dozens of feature films, including Lolita (with Jeremy Irons), The Tempest (with Peter Fonda), and Timepiece (with James Earl Jones), as well as a host of stage productions here in Louisville.

Music Theatre Louisville invites you to come early and stay late! A picnic fare will be offered prior to each production, featuring Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, BBQ Pork Sandwiches, Ice Cream, Beer, Wine and Mixed drinks on the Belvedere of The Kentucky Center. Mix and mingle with the cast after the performances at the East Room Bar of the Kentucky Center, where drink specials and late night bites will also be available. Casual is always encouraged, it's summertime!
