“Singin’ in the Rain” opens March 22 at West Side High School. It’s the story of that first Hollywood musical, the moment when the silver screen found its voice and never looked back. With all the sparkle and spectacle of a golden age, it features a glorious score including: “Make ’em Laugh,” “Good Morning,” “Moses Supposes” and, of course, “Singin’ in the Rain.”
Set at a time of change in the film world, “Singin’ in the Rain” follows silent movie star Don Lockwood, played by JD Cook, who has everything he could ever want: fame, adulation and even a well-publicized romance with his co-star Lina Lamont, played by Hannah Waite. But there are rumors spreading about a new kind of film that could alter everything, a kind of film where actors talk… and sing… and dance!
Students at West Side High School have been working, singing and dancing since before Christmas to bring this classic to the stage.
