Set in 1927, Singin' in the Rain, according to press notes, "tells the story of the first Hollywood musical, when the silver screen found its voice and left silent movies––and some of its stars––behind. Don Lockwood is a silent movie star with everything he could want––fame, adulation and a well-publicized ‘romance’ with his co-star Lina Lamont. But Hollywood is about to change forever. There is rumour in the studio of a new kind of film, where the actors actually talk...and sing...and dance. Can Don and the uniquely voiced Lina make the transition and will chorus girl Kathy Selden fulfil her dream of stardom and capture Don’s heart along the way?" The musical is produced in Australia by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, Dainty Group International, Michael Cassel Group and David Atkins Enterprises.

With the help of 12,000 litres of recycled water, the audience can enjoy one of the most famous dance scenes live on stage.
