Singin' in the Rain

Time Out“This is a great investment...” Aside from the central attractions, Church's production is stuffed with delights both ephemeral and essential: hilarious dubbing cock-ups, immaculate choreography, endless gems of cameos...

Financial Times“The cast has no weak link...” This production is not just wetter. It has more colour, more life and more panache...

Evening Standard“Certainly makes a splash...” It's crowd-pleasing stuff. The memory of Gene Kelly may not be banished, but this is a buoyant revival, lit up by Andrew Wright's superlative choreography...

The Arts Desk“Colourful, fast on its feet, crackling with humour...” One wouldn’t want to rain on the parade, but the show isn’t flawless. The extended second-act Broadway Ballet number comes over as blatant padding, as it did in the film...

The Stage“Making a splash all over again...” Singin’ in the Rain may be familiar stuff, but this cast brings such warmth and sincerity to it that it is entirely irresistible...

The Independent“Contains sequences as rapturously enjoyable...” What mars the show, for me, is that there are places where the desire to do nothing if not knock the audience dead again and again brings in a faintly metallic and driven feel to the proceedings...

Whatsonstage.com“Greeted with an exhalation of pleasure in the audience...” Last summer’s Chichester Festival Theatre pick-me-up has duly stormed the Palace Theatre just as two new movies about the early days of cinema – Hugo and The Artist – look set to feature in the Oscar awards ceremony...

The Telegraph“The perfect, potent pick-me-up...” If it doesn’t send you dancing down the Charing Cross Road with an inane grin of pleasure on your face, then I can only guess that you are in the vile grip of clinical depression when nothing can lift the spirits...

Guardian“Making quite a splash in the West End for some time to come...” It's a highly polished show with plenty to admire, but less to love...
