THEATRE: Performance
Singin' In The Rain
Time: 2:00 pm
Location: Toland Theatre, Center for the Arts
Ticket Prices: $18 adults; $16 seniors/non UWL students; $5 UWL students
Get ready for a downpour of unforgettable songs in Singin' in the Rain. Singin' in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline-the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes things aren't always as they appear on the big screen. Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her. This spectacular show is packed full of charm, romance, comedy and Tinseltown glamour and features some of the best loved movie songs including “Good Morning,” “Make 'em Laugh,” and of course, “Singin' in the Rain.” Screenplay by Betty Comden andAdolph Green. Songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, Inc.
This performance is not free. Tickets go on sale Monday, February 22 at 1:00 p.m. at the Center for the Arts Box Office or by calling (608) 785-8522.
