Singin' in the Rain
The cast of the ACS Musical will have Sofia’s residents “walking down the lane with a happy refrain” when they perform Singin’ In The Rain JR.
Based on the 1952 movie of the same name, Singin’ In The Rain JR. takes place in Hollywood during the last days of the silent movie era. The story follows Don Lockwood, one half of the blockbuster celebrity silent movie star couple Lockwood and Lamont, and the extreme measures taken when his co-star’s high-pitched and nasal voice threatens the duo’s successful transition into talking pictures.
Singin’ In The Rain JR. is adapted from the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film - named Best Movie Musical of all time by the American Film Institute.
Through this production ACS students are learning about the golden age of musicals, a very important period in America’s cultural history. And while they are performing songs and a story that we know and love, they are also exploring some significant ideas including the different sides of celebrity, the importance of adapting to change, the various ways society categorizes success, and the realities behind pursuing one’s dreams.
The ACS Musical Cast presents the Broadway JR. production of Singin’ In The Rain JR. on May 8, 9 & 10 at 7 PM at Sulza i Smyah Theatre.
