What A Glorious Feeling

By Jay Berkow
Musical arrangements by Albert Evans

Everyone knows the MGM classic Singin’ in the Rain starring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. Once released, the film was lightning in a bottle – but during production it was all chaos as Gene Kelly navigated studio politics, dwindling resources, and his own complicated love triangle. Kelly was determined to keep both his longtime collaborator Stanley Donen and trusted assistant Jeanne Coyne on set… despite the fact that they’d just divorced, and the torch Coyne carried for Kelly was the reason why. To top it off, their newly hired co-star Debbie Reynolds couldn’t even dance. One of the greatest movie musicals of all time is born in this intimate backstage play featuring the iconic music, songs, and dance of golden-age Hollywood.
