The MGM Story: The Magic of the Musical archive

It's a night out at the movies - live on stage! The MGM Story traces the story of this Golden Age of song and dance, and tells the tale of how the studio fostered the talents of stars including Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, and composers such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin (and scores of others). Set in a disused film set, featuring a West End cast and band, grab your seat and watch the world of MGM musicals come to sparkling life! This brand new musical revue will take you back to those timeless classics with songs from Singin' in the Rain, An Americain in Paris, The Wizard of Oz and many more.

This was magical. I grew up watching MGM musicals and this brought so many of the best bits to life. The cast were magnificent, I would love to see them do the whole of singing in the rain together, such energy, stunning voices and perfect dramatic mood changes for all of the different songs. A perfect night out for any lover of old time musicals.
