BWW Reviews: The Muny's Delightful and Tuneful Production of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

The movie version of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is one of my all-time favorites. It has such an upbeat feel and infectious sense of humor that it's almost disappointing when you finish watching it, step outside, and it isn't raining. Happily, the stage version retains a great deal of the tone and vivacity that the movie contains, even though this kind of reverse-engineering usually winds up a mixed bag at best. But, The Muny's current production, even with the sweltering heat we're currently enduring, is worth braving the broiling for, with winning performances and a bevy of familiar hummable tunes that haven't lost a bit of their original charm.

The Muny Opens New Season With '42ND ST.'

42ND STREET, the 'all talking, all singing, all dancing' extravaganza, is precisely the kind of colorful and splashy entertainment that the Muny does so well.
