Believed by many to be the best movie musical ever made, Singin’ In The Rain is still celebrated for its stunning song and dance routines and the magical on-screen relationship between its stars, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds.
Now adapted for the stage, this exuberant, funny, joyous and warm-hearted musical features all the songs from the classic 1952 MGM film, including Make ‘Em Laugh, Good Mornin’, You Were Meant For Me, You Are My Lucky Star, and of course, the immortal Singin’ In The Rain.
Pitlochry has a memorable Christmas hit on its hands.
Goes down a storm.
It would take a lot more than a few uncomfortable manoeuvres in the dark to dampen the audience’s enthusiasm for Durnin’s excellent farewell production.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Pitlochry from Friday December 1, 2017, until Saturday December 23, 2017. More info: www.pitlochry.org.uk
