Singin' in the Rain


This evening Joan and I attended our first performance at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse for the 2013 season. Ed Sayles, producing director of Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival, made sure our evening would be lively and entertaining when he selected “Singin’ in the Rain”.

The audience was attentive and appreciative of the efforts put forth by the leading actors, Cody Walker, Jody Madaras and Kimberly Doreen Burns, and the supporting actors, Geno Carr, Bruce Warren, and Nancy Snow Carr (Geno’s wife).

Perhaps the best part was upon leaving the theatre watching the audience skipping on the way to the parking lot as they were singing or humming the tune made famous by Gene Kelly.

David Wilcox’ review in The Citizen.

Wilcox is spot on. Just watching the energetic tap dancing segments might tire you out and the rain does not disappoint.
