I am super excited to share some wonderful news with you! Singin in the Rain will be splashing onto the stage in South Africa, just in time for the festive season!
Singin in the Rain
Singin’ in the Rain, another critically acclaimed, award-winning production direct from London’s West End, will be produced and presented in South Africa by Pieter Toerien.
After great success in the UK, Singin in the Rain is now touring internationally, with a stellar South African cast. The show is currently playing to sell-out houses in Hong Kong, after wowing audiences in New Zealand, the Philippines and Singapore! Now it is South Africa’s turn!

This superb production is sure to delight audiences in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. The stage production is base on the iconic 1952 MGM movie, set in 1927, made famous by Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. Singin’ in the Rain is a brilliant comedy about the film industry, with its egomaniac stars, monstrous film moguls, fickle fans, classic ‘golden-era’ moves and slapstick humour.
The production is packed full of the charm, romance, comedy and tinsel town glamour! It features wonderful tap dancing sequences, with all the well-known songs from the glorious MGM score. The magical Singin’ In The Rain scene, where it rains live onstage, is one of the big highlights of the show. If you are sitting in the front rows {the splash zone} prepare to leave the show a little wetter than when you arrived!
Musical theatre star Bethany Dickson, who hails from Cape Town, stars as the aspiring actress Kathy Selden. Kathy stars opposite Grant Almirall, who makes his debut as the charming Don Lockwood. The cast of 27 includes Steven van Wyk as Cosmo Brown, Taryn-Lee Hudson as Lina Lamont, James Borthwick as RF Simpson, Mark Richardson as Roscoe Dexter and Anne Power as Dora.
I am not sure about you but I am really excited to see the production because I know it is going to be a great deal of fun!
