Maui Onstage Presents, Singin’ in the Rain

Weekends, July 13 – August 5:
Maui Onstage Presents, Singin’ in the Rain. The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time” is faithfully and lovingly adapted for the stage.

In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren’t always as they appear on the big screen. Meanwhile, Lina’s squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her. Historic Iao Theater, 68 N. Market St., Wailuku. Fridays & Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday Matinees 3 p.m. For tickets and information call (808) 242-6969 or visit http://mauionstage.com/.
