Singing In The Rain – Toads @ Torquay
TOADS Stage Musical Company Presents Singing in the Rain
Tuesday 29th June – Saturday 3rd July
7.45pm, Saturday Matinee at 2.30pm
TOADS were one of the first amateur companies to perform this musical on stage, back in 1997, when it was a massive success for us. We thought it was high time we repeated it for our patrons, who have been asking for us to stage it again ever since.
The feature film needs no introduction, it’s a classic MGM musical about Hollywood in the 20′s when silent pictures were giving way to the “talkies”, and this stage version is based directly on the film, AND TOADS WILL HAVE REAL RAIN ON STAGE.
(We will not give away how it is done!!)
This light-hearted spoof of frantic Hollywood as the advent of sound changes all the movie-making rules and Monumental Studios prepares its romantic epic The Dueling Cavalier includes some of the best-loved comedy routines, dance numbers and love ballads ever written. Musical numbers that will be well loved include “Good Morning” “Make em laugh” “You are my Lucky Star” . With a vintage score and book – and that torrential dance number – Singin’ In The Rain is 24 carat classic entertainment. Staged by
Toads with a cast of 40+, live professional orchestra, and the same production team responsible for the recent critical successes of My Fair Lady and Hello Dolly, this is sure to be great entertainment for the entire family this summer.
