SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN – Movie mega-producer Harvey Weinstein will team up with Théâtre du Châtelet to bring the latter’s production of Singin’ in the Rain to Broadway in 2017. Directed by Robert Carsen, the tuner is choreographed by Stephen Meare, with costume design by Anthony Powell. “Dancing with the Stars’” Derek Hough is set to star in the production.
Based on the Oscar-winning 1952 Gene Kelly-led movie musical of the same name, Singin’ in the Rain follows silent film star Don Lockwood, whose career may be in trouble when talkies begin to takeover. Lockwood fears audiences will turn on his obnoxious leading lady Lina Lamont and seeks the help of talented newcomer Kathy Selden to dub her vocals.
