The upcoming RUSD Honors Musical production proudly presents the splash-hit classic, Singin’ in the Rain. This sparkling musical comedy brings Hollywood’s golden age to life with a full pit orchestra that pairs the expertise of professional Southern California musicians with the talent of RUSD high school instrumental students.

As a benefit of this program, students will have a golden opportunity to:

• Collaborate with the top instrumentalists in Southern California.

• Gain firsthand experience and insights into potential music careers.

• Elevate their lifelong skills, knowledge, and passion for the musical arts.

Step into 1927 Hollywood at the dawn of the “talkies.” Singin’ in the Rain follows silent-film idol Don Lockwood, his wisecracking best friend Cosmo Brown, and rising star Kathy Selden as they navigate a studio’s hilarious—and chaotic—transition from silent movies to sound.

Based on the beloved 1952 MGM film, the stage adaptation features a witty book by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and classic songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, including “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Good Morning,” “Make ’Em Laugh,” and “Moses Supposes.” With show-stopping tap numbers, romantic comedy, and the iconic onstage rainstorm, this joy-filled musical is perfect family theatre and a wonderful way to bring our community together.
