TOWNSVILLE CHORAL SOCIETY
Est. 1906
Tap your toes and sing along in this splashy adaptation of the "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time".
Journey back to the glamour of Hollywood during the roaring 20’s where silent movie star Don Lockwood has it all, a string of hit films and a studio-engineered romance with the most beautiful actress in town. But Hollywood is about to change. A new kind of film is rumoured to be in production - a film where the actors sing and dance… and TALK! But a chance meeting with a talented young chorus girl who steals his heart changes everything for Don, for Hollywood, forever.
Featuring all the glitz and glamour of the golden age of Hollywood, Singin’ in the Rain is filled with every memorable moment from the film and a downpour of unforgettable songs including ‘Make ‘em Laugh’, ‘Good Morning’, ‘Moses Supposes’ and the defining ‘Singin’ in the Rain’.
