Singing in the Rain on Broadway

Was this show ever on Broadway?
I know there's a stage musical of it, just curious if anyone has any details or an idea of what the stage show is like.

Yes it was on Broadway. And I believe it was severely panned...
Singin in the Rain

That's a shame. I think it could work really well onstage if done right.

This show needed Tommy Tune, not Twyla Tharp as director.

I don't see why this movie was ever turned into a stage show, the beauty about it is how cinematic it is. I love it as a movie and understand why it didn't work on Broadway.

The stage version that is released is actually wonderful. Everything is directly from the movie with the exception of Lina's song "What's Wrong With Me?" which is beyond fabulous. The Broadway version was quite flawed in using Twyla as the director/choreographer and not sticking very closely to the book. The London production with Tommy Steele was even worse. Had the "regional" version been on Broadway it would have faired very well I believe. Paper Mill has a recording out with the uber fabulous and dear Michael Gruber as Don. If you come across it grab it! I did a production of it in 1995 with Dirk Lumbard who was phenominal as well.

I saw it this past summer at North Shore Music Theatre, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That was the first (and only so far) stage version I had (have) seen. I think Randy Skinner would do a great job choreographing this show. He has a great grasp of that "Golden Era of Hollywood musicals," in aesthetics and style.
