Ottawa Theatre Review: Orpheus Musical Theatre Presents: Singin’ In The Rain
Hello, Ottawa! I had the pleasure of seeing Orpheus Musical Theatre’s latest show, Singin’ in the Rain. Many know this classical musical from the 1950’s film directed and starring Gene Kelly. Although this film has the same story as the musical, Orpheus presents a more modern spin on the classic. The Venue Meridian Theatres @ […]
