Grab your umbrella and wellies - there's rain forecast at the Royal Albert Hall.
The romantic Hollywood of a bygone age is coming to London as the historic venue marks the 60th anniversary of musical classic Singin' in the Rain (1952) on 8 and 9 March with a screening of the film, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performing in sync with the soundtrack.
Singin’ in the Rain: Live in Concert will be introduced by Patricia Ward Kelly, wife of the late Singin’ in the Rain star Gene Kelly.
Kelly's prolific career shaped American film, including performances in Cover Girl (1944), An American in Paris (1951) and starring roles alongside Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal (1942), Fred Astaire in Ziegfeld Follies (1945) and Frank Sinatra in On the Town (1949).
Ranking number one on the American Film Institute's 100 Years of Musicals list, it was Kelly's directing and performance in Singin' in the Rain that defined the notion of the Hollywood musical.
