Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.
Filled with every memorable moment from the film and a downpour of unforgettable songs, Singin' in the Rain is a guaranteed hit for any theatre. The technical elements can be challenging but well worth the effort when the audience is left leaping to their feet. Three extraordinary roles for dancers and a tour de force comedic turn make this a perfect choice for any theatre with an abundance of talent ready to shine.
Whenproducer Arthur Freed and writers Betty Comdon and Adolph Green were assignedto the project at MGM, their instructions were to recycle a group of songs thestudio already owned, most of them written by Freed himself, with Nacio HerbBrown. Comdon and Green noted that the songs came from the period when silentfilms were giving way to sound, and they decided to make a musical about thebirth of the talkies. That led to the character of Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen),the blond bombshell with the voice like fingernails on a blackboard.
The musical drama, composed by and starring Prince in the lead role, was accompanied by a studio album titled Purple Rain, which Prince released as a soundtrack to the film. The album, the singer's best-known record to date, featured hits such as "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" and won the Academy Award for best music, original song score (a category which no longer exists).
Prince released a soundtrack album titled Batman for Tim Burton's film, starring Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader. It featured original songs "The Future," "Vicki Waiting," "Electric Chair," "Partyman," "Trust," and "Scandalous" and stayed at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart for six consecutive weeks upon release.
With one of the catchiest riffs ever written, this song has become an indelible part of popular culture. Originally given only a few days to write the track, Ray Jay Parker Jr. found inspiration in late-night TV commercials and duly produced a composition in the style of an advertising jingle. In doing so, he encapsulated the surreal and madcap nature of the film whilst creating a song which exists as a phenomenon in its own right. The 2016 film remake brought with it a misguided cover version by Fall Out Boy, which has so far failed to make such an impact. MA
MINNEAPOLIS -- This week marks 40 years since Prince and the Revolution performed their instantly legendary concert sets at First Avenue, debuting many of the songs that would eventually become the soundtrack to the blockbuster film "Purple Rain."
Boogie Nights weaved great songs from the disco and soft-rock Seventies and the MTV early Eighties into a mixtape that flowed just as seamlessly as the film's sumptuous tracking shots. Tracks like Walter Egan's "Magnet and Steel" and the Commodores' "Machine Gun" perfectly punched the nostalgia buttons of late Nineties twentysomethings with vague memories of hearing them in the back of their parents' station wagons. Boogie Nights used some of these songs so well they're now inextricably linked to the movie. Whenever Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" comes on at happy hour, you can almost smell freebase sweat and firecracker smoke.
Director Mike Nichols' brilliant use of several Simon and Garfunkel songs in his chronicle of post-collegiate alienation gave contemporary Sixties pop unprecedented placement in a serious Hollywood blockbuster. Longtime Miles Davis producer Teo Macero helmed the soundtrack, which was split between S&G songs from the film like "Mrs. Robinson" and "April Come She Will" and music by composer Dave Grusin (some of which, like the easy listening jazz-pop dollop "Sunporch Cha-Cha-Cha," is a kitschy good time). One song on the soundtrack but not the movie, "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine," is a loopy throwaway in which Simon's lyrics satirize a psychedelic advertising pitch, and the closing acoustic rendition of "Sound of Silence" is one of folk-pop's most beautiful moments.
5. The role of Cosmo was originally meant for Oscar Levant, who had played a similar role as Kelly's wisecracking best friend in "An American in Paris" the year before. But when Kelly (who not only starred in "Singin'" but also choreographed it and co-directed it with Stanley Donen) started playing up the film's dance elements, the role went instead to experienced hoofer O'Connor.
6. The role of the hilariously annoying diva Lina Lamont was written with Judy Holliday in mind; she'd been a performing partner of Comden and Green's back in New York before finding fame on Broadway and in Hollywood via "Born Yesterday." But when that film won Holliday a Best Actress Oscar in 1951, she was suddenly too big a star for MGM to hire for the "Singin'" supporting role. The part went instead to her Broadway understudy, Jean Hagen.
13. The film took a toll on O'Connor, too, particularly the "Make 'Em Laugh" number. Comprised of slapstick gags O'Connor had performed during his vaudeville days, it famously climaxed with O'Connor running up a wall and doing a backflip. He managed to film the whole number in one day, but the shoot left the four-pack-a-day smoker so out-of-breath, and the soundstage's concrete floors left his joints in such pain, that he had to rest for three days before returning to work.
When used in movies, songs can enhance emotions, help with the development of the story, or simply make a scene feel more dynamic and exciting. Certain songs prove so inspiring to filmmakers that they get memorably used in more than one film: it's hard to tie these songs to just one movie, given how well they've all been used in two (or more) different titles.
"Singin' in the Rain" was not written for the musical of the same name and was originally recorded more than 20 years before the iconic film about silent cinema was released. The version sung by Gene Kelly in the film has ultimately become the most well-known version and has since appeared in various other movies.
Perhaps the most infamous of these is A Clockwork Orange, where lead character Alex sings it during a particularly disturbing home invasion scene, with Kelly's version being heard over the end credits. The song's use in both films is memorable for sure but in incredibly different ways.
By some miracle, it was expertly used in two very different films, but in similar ways and at similar points. Boogie Nights and Love Actually aren't too comparable beyond their uses of ensemble casts and their usage of "God Only Knows" towards the end of each respective film, but it works wonders in both instances and remains such a good song that it's hard to be frustrated by any sense of déjà vu.
He's used The Rolling Stones plenty of times throughout his movies and even directed a documentary/concert film with them in 2008 called Shine a Light. "Gimme Shelter" is one song of theirs that is particularly prone to pop up in a Scorsese picture and can be heard in the soundtracks for Goodfellas, Casino, and The Departed.
Despite this, its use in that film isn't the most well-known, given how heavily "Bohemian Rhapsody" is tied with Wayne's World. The scene with the main characters headbanging to the song in a car is the most memorable and consistently referenced part of the movie, even to the point where more people are likely to think of Wayne's World when they hear the song rather than the movie that's literally called Bohemian Rhapsody.
It was a bold move to use the song in a montage the same way Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did, but that's what Spider-Man 2 does during a part in the film where Peter Parker temporarily retires from being Spider-Man. It feels a little goofier there but still fits perfectly with the scene and tone of the movie at that point, making it a perfectly utilized song in both instances.
"Across 110th Street" was a song written for the film of the same name, but has since become arguably more well-known than said film. It's an iconic soul song with a fantastic melody and socially conscious lyrics and was also used by Quentin Tarantino for the opening of his 1997 film Jackie Brown.
Its use in the latter of those might be why it's more famous than the film it originally appeared in, but it's still worth highlighting both, given it was specifically written for the former. It's proven a great way to establish a tone and mood for two different films, making it an undeniably classic song.
Jeremy is an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet. He'll gladly watch and write about almost anything, from old Godzilla films to gangster flicks to samurai movies to classic musicals to the French New Wave to the MCU... well, maybe not the Disney+ shows.
His favorite directors include Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, Akira Kurosawa, Quentin Tarantino, Werner Herzog, John Woo, Bob Fosse, Fritz Lang, Guillermo del Toro, and Yoji Yamada. He's also very proud of the fact that he's seen every single Nicolas Cage movie released before 2022, even though doing so often felt like a tremendous waste of time. He's plagued by the question of whether or not The Room is genuinely terrible or some kind of accidental masterpiece, and has been for more than 12 years (and a similar number of viewings).
When he's not writing lists - and the occasional feature article - for Collider, he also likes to upload film reviews to his Letterboxd profile (username: Jeremy Urquhart) and Instagram account.
