I wish people would stop comparing theatre versions to movie versions. They aren't comarable, and that's the beauty of musical theatre. It's so raw and real. Now don't get me wrong, Gene Kelly was AMAZING!!! I'm actually singing this song at a theatre fundrasier. And that's why I'm here, costume ideas.
The person performing, Adam Cooper, did a fabulous job here.
This show is one of the best stage musicals I've ever seen. I reckon I could watch it it 20 times and still want more.
Im in awe of this incredible young man. What a super talent he is.
am i the only one who actually enjoyed this? i agree, it is nothing compared to the original but at least he was having fun and i found myself smiling all the way through. is that not the point of a musical? as long as it makes you happy it doesn't really matter
No you're not the only one. He was having so much fun that it made me happy just to watch. And putting his hat ON the cop's head was one point where this production surpassed the movie. I suppose in 1950 the cop would have run him in.
KatieIsMe Well, almost the only one. The guy couldn't even do the simple tap dance that Kelly could do in his sleep, plus he even had to slow down the number to do what he (barely) did.
And the classic sign of weak dancing is to add a chorus line of other dancers.
Painful.
DDumbrille the chorus part is from the end of the show ... but as this was a to spot they did a mash up of both.
I disagree with you because I thought this was a great performance. People have to know that musicals are continuous single take with live singing. If Gene Kelly fails to catch his umbrella, they do another take. Here, it's a death sentence. I was pleasantly surprised they did include that bit in the musical but that's why they get great casts and this guy performed so well.
Things always look good when your standards are so low.
You can't look at singing in the rain (any performance) and think of utter happiness. I regard it as the most happiest moment in movie history and seeing this performance is no exception to musicals :)
There will never be another Gene Kelly. We can all agree on this. But this is still really fun.
My 2-year-old is on this Singin in the Rain kick, loves Gene Kelly, but we've watched this performance just as many times. They're different but both so well choreographed, they sell it 100%.
this is live performance ,who could do more than this !!!
Omg it’s splendid…Adam Cooper came to Japan last year and I watched his Singin’ in the rain 🇯🇵❤ it seemed to be same as him in this video. Can’t believe it was taken 11years ago. He is definitely legend 🥺 thank you for uploading this video
Saw this in London and it was amazing!!!
aww he looks so happy
one reason why on stage it is slowed down is that you can have NG in movie and you can take month to shoot a movie, but you have to put everything in a musical like 3 hours per day, 8 times a week (given that there is alternative, it is still 4 times a week), it is much more demanding on the stage.
if you ever feel useless, just remeber you arent don's umbrella
😂
egg egg lol
You see the difference between the umbrella and you is at least the umbrella looks good :)
Just kidding don't come after me
He showed me this sing and I loved it
Great performance, very well done Mr Cooper, congrats! Folks who still blubber after Gene Kelly are not able to differ between movie and live theatre. It's like comparing apples with pears. Certainly you cannot hear tap sound as there is lots of water on the stage!
Lieschen Müller Nonsense. It's been done in other stage versions of the show for the last 20 years, complete with taps, and at the correct speed (not slowed way down). This guy just wasn't competent enough. Couldn't even handle the simple, simple routine that Kelly did in his sleep.
@@randomaj9752 "Pretty well done" is a safe assessment, but a little kind. Perhaps I was did exaggerate a bit, but since he was good at doing everything else, was it just laziness that he didn't bother attempting to learn a few simple steps?
@@randomaj9752 I do. And of course it's easier when it's broken up into shots, sometimes shot over several days or even a week or more. But your argument doesn't hold water in this regard, as SIngin' in the Rain has been a stage production for 25 years, and performers have done this number -- with all the taps in place -- without any excuses. You're right, it isn't easy, but they did it.
OMG !! Just Awesome !! 🇧🇷❤ Brazil here.
Saw the musical the other night and it was fantastic. Everything was brilliant and so want to see it again!
He captures the spirit of the movie song (yes, UA-cam just recommended to me a 12 yo video) love this!
I fully agree, though the lack of tapping sound is probably because you are used to the film, where there nearly always dubbed in tapping sounds to go with the dancer's feet to make the sound more clear.
I agree with you whole heartedly there. nothing beats the original.
Thank you from austria
This was great.❤❤❤
This was one of my favorite movies. A very beautiful performance by them.
Hello Jane how are you doing?
@@christopheranderson2024 ok
3:48 reminds me of laurel and hardy. Great performance by the way. Love it
come on！movie and stage are so different！you can not compare them！in a movie actors can lip-synch，try it again and again and have a rest. But this guy on the stage can not！！
Of course nothing beats the original but I don't think they are trying to do that, it's simply a tribute to the greatest movie musical ever made and I think it's truely awesome that people still wanna do a stage version of a 60 year old movie, that's amazing!
アダムクーパーさん、観に行きました！
とても良かったです。
I actually enjoyed this though I wish I could hear the tapping
Oh! What absolute joy!!
I am utterly in love ❤️
Alex DeLarge loves this song!
aha LOVE it !!!
wuderful
My great great Grandpa know song
wonderful song
OK, Gene Kelly's performance in the movie is way superior. But I Think we must give some credit to this attempt too, considering it was performed in a theater, with live audience, and an orchestra playing live. The singer-dancer was not bad and I missed the tapping. I think it deserves a "like" for the effort to take to the Theater such a classic.
they did a great job. umbrellas are hard to use as a prop and no one dropped it. every person's movement was in sync.
LOVE IT!
The original had multiple takes, and, although long takes, you could perform the most advanced and inhumane dance numbers unlimited times until they got it right. Musicals can't do that. You make a mistake, you can't redo it. Gene Kelly was an absolute legend, but think of the fact that this is all done in one big take. It's quite impressive when I think about it.
Oh yeah, AND you can't hear tap dancing when it's on water. And there's only one guy there. Don't complain. It's impossible.
Wooden Sword movimiento
No soy de esa época pero me encanta, tengo 55 años ,esto es lo que me heredaron mus padres lástima que yo sólo les herede los ochenteros, pero esta joya creo que no la van a valorar es una lástima no poder le dejar esto a mis hijos o nietos pero les juró que are el intento
When I saw this, I just wanted to see Gene Kelly's unique performance. I don't know what is the point.
looked like Benedict cumber batch for a minute and I was like...........what?
Un clásico que se renueva con elegancia!
Me fascinó.
I 've always liked umbrellas and water, so I'll watch anything related. You have to grow up with the influence of such good tap and singing. I use to walk in puddles on safe small town streets.
Es hermoso
I'd like to insert this song onto my script.
He's got pretty big tap shoes to fill, but full credit for trying.
Abslutely beautiful ...my only insane comments relate to him being so obviously beautifully trained ..so not believable as an ordinary man who is in love ..happy .. dances well ...it sounds crazy but I think itd be better if his technique was less amazing
maravilhoso esse musical,lindo.espetacular,so a musica e encantadora,gostaria de brit brit ,mandasse a peca completa obrigado antonio sergio brazil
Can't hear taps in water. The sound of tapping in this number was dubbed over in the movie (by Carol Haney and Gwen Verdon).
for those people who never saw the original version this one might be good enough.
Ooommmgggggg👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful!! I wonder where they got the cool umbrellas
Are the mics somehow waterproof?
The one with the green umbrella at 4.32 looks like Eddie Redmayne I think
I think because it was a royal event for the Queen. you know how at graduations they hold the applause to the end? i think it's the same thing here.
Why don't audiences clap every ten seconds like they used to? Do they not appreciate how much effort and practice has been put in to every second of this performance. The lighting, sound, the main actor, the chorus, the conductor, and every single musician in that incredible band!
Ugh, please don't encourage that. You can't hear a thing that's being performed and it ruins it! Have some respect for the fact that it's live, and reserve your wild applause for the end :) (Watch things like X-factor and you'll see what I mean.)
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was great but there's something slightly unnerving about a tap number with no tapping.
I really like the musical, and this was a commendable attempt but i felt tired looking at him he seemed like he used so much energy and could barely catch his breath, the original seemed so effortless (i get it, editing helps). It was very obvious when he had to stop for a second and make sure he catches the umbrella for example, and wasn't very good at the lamp post. Just an observation. Still enjoyed it
I just hate the fact that they turned a tap number into a jazz one
its sad when the one who first did it had it at perfection!!! the charm and charisma of gene alone made dancing in the rain a suicide mission for anyone who would try to duplicate it! everyone seems lije trying so hard... in the rain!
Does anyone know where i can get an umbrella like this?
Gene Kelly is greatest man in original film , though Cooper is greatest one , too in theaters like this
I don't think such a literal translation from film to stage was a very good idea. The film version is effortless and full of joy. Certainly, much of that has to do with editing, multiple takes, cinematography, etc., but then that's my point. This scene was perfectly designed for a film, and if the goal was to translate that to a live stage performance, the choreography and staging should have been adapted as such. Though I suppose then, everyone would complain that it was "too different" from the original. Eh - I guess there's no winning with something as iconic as Singin' in the Rain.
HAHA the laughter of the audience says differently, you have to remember that the UK has a different sense of humour. Peter Kay is an extremely popular comedian over there. He's even in the 2013 Guinness World Records for having the largest stand up comedy tour in the world. So to say he's not funny "AT ALL" is wrong, because many find him hilarious, including myself.
Does someone maybe have a karaoke version from exactly this performance? I'm studying Musical Theatre and I'm going to perform this version of Singing in the Rain, which of course works better with a recording than the piano! I hope someone can help me! X
I really wanted to see this musical but it is too late now :(
0:48
I have one question! what happened to the mics?? they can't get wet, what do they do about it??
Paulina Potter Delgado I directed a production of this in the 90's and our sound guys used condoms to protect the transmitters
Chookas Chookas Sort of a "dry" head job.
Is Eddie Redmayne in the chorus?
It's good, but Gene Kelly's performance is still superior.
No no, because we know the real, best one, this can never be good enough as much as the original one. The voice sounds good, moves, structures, equipment, colors, number of people in, all things looks good but, again, it never b good as much as the original one. Especially, what you wanna express.
No one can beat gene Kelly
最高過ぎて泣けてきた（；＿；）♥
i like the part when the police came
No Tess ??? ...
No 🏖️ Umbrella ☔ !!! ...

4:13
Can't beat George's tho
It's fine and he did a great job under great direction but unfortunately charm cannot be directed that's either there or not it can't be forced.
It feels like this guy tried too hard to convey that ... Idk .... You either have that spark or not. That being said the performance is quite amazing how it's adapted just the guys a bit wooden not sure.
Wow that is a bad followspot
Ahahahahahaha... 2:00
Why so slow.... Watch the movie.
Well, it's not terrible... but it is not as good as Gene Kelly. The show is not enjoyable and the guy is putting a show while Kelly was enjoying the moment in the movie.
TERRIBLE!!!!!!! he isn't doing any tap moves!!!!!!!!
Pésimo
I'll stick with Gene, Debbie & Donald. Yikes.
Just when ya thought things couldn't be worse this pops up. Terrible. Leave the classics with the classics if this is the best you can do.
podreeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! depois de Gene Kelly deve-se ter muita coragem pra fazer isto! horrivel!!!!
showoff ,it's terrible

It’s great to see Hollywood appreciate rain
Comedy is subjective especially when it includes colloquial expressions and subtelties that only people from a certain region get. This comedian is the biggest in England but he isn't as popular in the South as in the North as he is from up his jokes are well understood by them.
You can never beat the original, but this is good, unfortunately you can see he is trying to use the brolly, thank you for sharing it
У меня у одной возник вопрос - где они сушат костюмы ? 😅😅 А вообще то - прекрасное исполнение !
Saw the show at the Princes Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue in February just after it opened and it was sensational. Going back down there in July to see it all again. What with tickets, transport from Scotland, accomodation, it's going to cost but the run finishes in February of next year I believe and myself and my future wife are looking forward to seeing it one more time !!
BRILLIANT for a "LIVE" routine. And good to see that the Police Officer joined the fun team...pick -up an umbrella and go Singin' in the Rain!!!
かっこういい
amazing ..... i hope i can go to theathre and watch this ...
wooooww im watching in 2019 and i love this so much
