"The ninth successive production at Kilworth House Theatre is glorious, radiating exuberance and exploiting every advantage of an outdoor stage purpose-built for musicals."
"On Philip Witcomb’s lavish art deco set, Singin’ in the Rain is beautifully fluid and evocative of the period."
"The show never flags. It’s got glitz, glamour, high-speed tapping, big company numbers, a flamboyant orchestra and always something to catch the eye. As night falls here, the lighting gains impact and the pace gets hotter, culminating in an unexpected gold and silver finale."
The Stage ★★★★
"Director and choreographer Mitch Sebastian has assembled a West End quality cast for his ninth successive production, on Philip Witcomb’s sweeping and versatile art deco set that places the orchestra at the centre of the action and truly evokes that era of transition from silent films to talkies."
The show – lavishly costumed – never flags. It’s got glitz, glamour, high-speed tapping, big numbers and always something to catch the eye. As night falls here, the lighting gets more and more atmospheric and the pace gets hotter. Simply ravishing.
