Singin' In the Rain

The play was worthy of spending the afternoon. The music was great in a 50's sort of way but the story line slow to develop. Just average for me...I didn't leave the theater singing and soon forgot the play. I'm. in my 70's and believe the play more suitable to an older crowd.

We have been season subscribers for three years and seen dozens of productions. This one topped them all. The quality of the acting, voices, and staging was worthy of Broadway. Well done to all involved with this production.

A good time for the whole Family! My children enjoyed it so much, they asked if I would buy them the movie. All of the actors did a fabulous job especially the gentleman who played Cosmo!

Very Colorful costumes to replicate that time era. Most remarkable the way it rained on the stage to recreate the scene. It was a most enjoyable evening; what more could you want: dinner and a show in the same night! Keep it up UTEP!

Our family loved the production. All the voices are quite good, as well as all the dance numbers; staging,costumes, lighting are very well done. Play sticks to the movie plot very nicely. Great for all ages. Theatre is nice.

Outstanding performance. This is a must see show that you do not want to miss

This show was put on by The Students of Sacred Heart Academy and they did such an amazing job. The show was very entertaining for me and for my 7 year old daughter. We will definitely return for Sacred Heart's show again next year!

Excellent performance by talented young people. Future its theirs. "Kelly" had an amazing voice.

A professional level performance. Very enjoyable! Great job.

A cast of over 30 performers brought the excellent movie "Singin' in the Rain" to the stage. The performance was very enjoyable to see. The sound and lighting were done very well. The stage was laid out nicely. The highlight of the show, of course, was the performance of the song "Singin' in the Rain" done by Mr. David Elder who captured the original Gene Kelly performance very well. His singing was very good and the dancing, literally in the rain, was very well done and quite enjoyable to see. The stage setup, with the rain pouring on stage, was clever and added greatly to the show.

Great venue with small seats but great sound. Everything was done extremely well on stage, and staff was extremely knowledgeable and courteous.

I am an avid theater-goer, and this is by far one of the best shows that I have seen. They did a great job following the movie. The show was clever, hilarious and fun throughout its entirety. The main actors weren't very strong performers, except Cosmo Brown, who was amazing! Still a very enjoyable show, though.

Singin in the Rain had a great cast. I had purchased the tickets as a gift but enjoyed the show as much as the person who received the gift! I would definitely recommend this show.

The cast and especially the leads were very talented. To be able to act, sing and dance all in one musical takes a great deal of commitment on their part. These people have done what it takes to take their craft to the next level in the arts. Thumbs up !

This production was so very enjoyable from start to end. The performers were outstanding, the choreography was brilliant, and the staging and sets were amazing. We have been to a number of shows, and for sure, this will be one of those that is MEMORABLE.

I really enjoyed this play. The actors were fantastic with their great singing and dancing. The special effect of the real rain was so much fun. After the play was over and we were leaving and walking outside it was actually raining out and I started to sing the song "Singing in the Rain" and another person walking next to me joined in and we sang and laughed and both said how perfect this play was!

Really good job. The singing and dancing were great. Really intersting how they made it rain on stage...

Everything about thte play was great excerpt the seats - we were in the first row and could not see anything from their knees down so we missed all the dancing.

this was my second time seeing the theatrical performance of Singing In The Rain but the first time at Drury Lane! I had purchased these tickets and lunch package for a Christmas present for my mom and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. our tickets were for the fourth row which gave a great view of the stage. all the performers were very talented! highly recommend! whe we arrived at our seats we ended up sitting in the third row to allow a group of friends to sit together. we were handed rain ponchos for the weather sequence.

Overall, very entertaining for the whole family and great to expose new generations to a classic. The lead actor sang great, but was a bit overweight and uncomfortable to watch dancing and romancing. The lead actress was not as strong as you would expect. Our favorite performers were the actors playing Cosmos, Lina and the producer, who gave it their all and more. They really carried the show.

I am a ballet teacher and of course enjoy musicals. My friend and I got dinner/musical tickets for last week-end and I so enjoyed the performance. Because of my professional dance training, I'm very critical with critiquing performances. But the dancing, singing and acting was just fabulous. So 'easy' to watch and totally enjoyable.

Singin in the Rain was fabulous!! The closing scene brought tears to my eyes. Loved the black and white footage displayed throughout the play. Dancing and singing numbers were great especially during the rain.

The only reason I went to this musical was to surprise my girlfriend on her birthday. This is her favorite musical and up until now she has only seen it on tape. We are both musicians so we have similar tastes in the arts. This musical was absolutely perfect!!! The attention to detail was incredible and I couldn't be happier with a performance. The dancing was spectacular and the singing was spot on.

Very good performance of a classic show. Great environment (especially when coupled with the brunch buffet.

Kept me glued to my seat. Set design, dancing, singing, acting....NEVER a dull moment! This is my new go to theatre. Not a bad seat in the house. The space between the row you sit in and the seats in front of you were "double" , so you could pass in front of people and not touch them. I didn't even notice the people sitting in front of me! This is my new go to theatre.

Definitely the best play I've seen to date! Such a great cast and great effects. Well done!

I had only seen snipits of the movie, so went in not really knowing the whole premise of the story other than a guy falls in love with a girl and sings and dances in the rain. I was so glad that I went to see this on stage! It is a great story set in the 1920's before sound became part of the Hollywood movies. Revolves around two Hollywood stars of silent pictures Don & Lina Lockwood and a girl Kathy that Don falls in love with. The story is sweet, fresh, and funny. The actress who plays Lina is superb playing a star with an awful voice! The actor who plays supporting role Cosmo (Don's lifetime friend) is great as the comedic relief. Overall the singing, choreography, and stage was fabulous. Beware sitting in the first 2-3 rows. You are given ponchos for that famous rain scene which is right before intermission and a refrain with nearly the whole cast at the end. I have seen many plays and this is by far in my top 5!

The musical was great - such wonderful singing and the dancing was amazing! A very talented cast. Loved the scenes where it actually rained! We had a bite to eat before and dessert after in the lounge area - all in all - a wonderful night out! Two thumbs up!

As usual, very well done. Always enjoy visiting Druary Lane Theater

It is by far the best play I have seen at this venue. The staging, singing and dancing made you feel like you were on Broadway. I would have sat through another performance immediately following if I could have.

My friends and I have seen several performances at the Drury Lane in Oakbrook and by far this has been one of the best musicals we have seen. Thank You!! It was very entertaining and fun! Wonderful & very talented actors/performers. We especially enjoyed Cosmo & Ms. Lamont.

I took my 89 year old father-in-law and he was so mesmerized by the show; his eyes were glued to the actors fast tapping feet and he sang to the music. What a great experience for him to see such a wonderful performance of one of his all time favorite movies! It was fabulous!

Great seats, great sound, very talented actors and actresses. This was not our first play at Drury Lane, but we are always pleasantly surprised with the production! It was also hysterical to watch the first two rows of the audience put on rain ponchos when the title song began.

FABULOUS !! EXCELLENT !! OUTSTANDING !! Loved it !!!

The plot is a bit slow. But, the "rain" scene was great. I also have a new found respect for tap dancing. The performers evoked a fun and ease in their dancing that was infectious.

Excellent family entertainment! The music and actors were all very good.

What a nice surprise this show was! After seeing the movie several times, it was neat to watch it come to life with wonderful singers, dancers and a great stage show overall. The best part was the "Singin' in the Rain" dance number with rain falling from the stage sky! The first 3 rows were given rain panchos and we were in the 4th row and did not get wet at all. The rain came down at the end again and closed out the show in the proper way. It's a must see at at a great venue and am glad we decided to spend New Year's Eve at Drury Lane.

Show closely followed the movie version, and the actors did a great job of imitating the screen stars. The actress who played Lina Lamont really did a wonderful rendition, as did the actor in the part of Cosmo Brown. Plush seating, great meal, and an enjoyable night out!

The entertainment value this show offered is off the charts. I went here with my girlfriend for New Years and it was a total blast (we are both 21 years old)! The audience was mostly older people (average age of 58 I would guess), but that didn't detract from the energy of the show. NOTE: in the first 3 rows i.e. AA, BB, CC will get ponchos. It's no big deal as there are only little splashes for about 10 seconds of the show. If you are not in the center section you can honestly get away without using the poncho no problem.

Loved the rain in it! Singing was sensational! Plus, we had the meal at Drury Lane, which was delicious!

This play was one of the best ones that I have seen in years! It captured the details of the movie rendition greatly. I would recommend others to see this spectacular event.

Drury lane is beautiful as usual. The play was fabulous, the talent was top notch!

Kudos to all of the actors in this production. A wonderful cast and fabulous orchestra made for a fun night with the family. (I think some of the reviewers need to tone down the criticism). A joyful rendition of an old favorite.

First, we enjoyed an excllent dinner at your restaurant before the show. I love the music from this play. I wasn't quite sure how you were going to pull off the rain scene. It's the best part in the movie with Gene Kelly. You didn't disappoint. How Fun!!! The actress that played Lina did an exceptional job with how she talked. I would imagine that is very hard to retrain your brain to talk like that. I left the theater humming a tune and wanting to do my own dance in the rain. Thanks for a most enjoyable evening!

Loved the dancing! The performers were top notch. Rained on stage which was very fun. Go see it! Nice venue also.

What great fun and entertainment! This performance is fun from beginning to end! The storyline is great, the performers are energetic, and the actual "singing in the rain" brings what has been seen on TV for years, alive and fun! This performance leaves you wanting to sing and dance! I would definitely see this one again!

Great!!! The actors were all amazing. It was a great show to see. Cosmo was the best!

Was a wonderful production and I was able to find great seats. The only problem was the box office which claimed I only had one seat , but I had my iPhone with. Having that do umentation helped

Great performances. Everyone was so talented. Singing and dancing was top notch. Cute story. Funny. Highly recommend

Great performers with classic songs. Play is worth seeing downtown.

Average other than singing in rain set. But not terrible night out for $50. Like the theater.

The show was wonderful. We had dinner before the show which was also very good.

Raining onstage! Done in a manner that I believed I was going to need an umbrella. Thanks for bringing one of my favorite movies to the stage.

Great singing, great dancing and a great show. Well worth the admission.

I missed Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O Connor, but the excellent cast at Drury Lane did very well in emulating the source material and providing a fresh and delightful performance of a great musical. Drury Lane continues to provide a professional setting for affordable regional theater and a great dinner setting. I don't think I have ever seen a play where the actors seemed to be having as much fun as the audience, and when Tony Yazbeck emulated Gene Kelly in the sequence where he sang and danced the title song, you could tell that he was enjoying the moment as much as the audience. Kyle DeSantis continues to wear the mantel of his grandfather well by providing a quality dinner/theater setting that carries on a great family tradition.

Show was well put together and very entertaining. The lead male has stepped into the role and made it his own. Very charming production.

Great show. Great singing and dancing. Really enjoyable.

It was fun, loved the part in the play where they did the Singin in The Rain song. Drury Lane itself was very pretty. Overall I thought the play was average and would put many other shows over seeing this one.

singin in the rain was fanastic.we sat a little to close ,but it was funny, quick moving and the acting was great!

Great energy and youthful enthusiasm made Singing in the Rain an afternoon gem.

My sister and I (19 and 31, respectively) just saw this Wednesday. We both love the movie so thought we'd splurge on tickets for the play. We were not disappointed. The lead four actors were excellent (Donald O'Connor is smiling BIG TIME) and the musical numbers were generally very good. If you're in the first few rows you'll get a poncho (and you'll need it)! Moses Supposes was my favorite number. I know funds are tight for everyone right now, but if you have a little wiggle room in the budget, this is a worthy splurge. Enjoy!

WOW. It was really enjoyable. They took all the wonderful parts of the movie and made a great musical event Would recommend it to anyone, especially those that loved the movie.The costumes were beautiful, sets great and rain effect a great surprise!

I thought the dancing and singing we're great. It was just like the original play with Gene Klly and Debbie Reynolds. The rain on stage was unbelievable. They did a great job the whole cast.

This was a great event and very well performed. It was very true to the movie and the "real" rain was a nice surprise. We are already thinking of going back to see it a second time with some friends that we know would love to see it!!
