By Asia The National Museum in Warsaw offers you a lot of exhibitions : Musical Theatre ROMA invites you to new shows : Constantly exhibitions : -Singin’ in the rain ( really popular ) -The Gallery of the old European paintings The musical Singin’ In The Rain is a stage version of one of the most popular musical films. The story takes place in the Hollywood film world at the end of the 20s and it is a critical to the industry period of transformation from silent to sound film. The main character, Don Lockwood, is a popular star, a well-known celebrity and ladies’ darling. Young, handsome, energetic and rich – a Hollywood star. His screen partner is a beautiful and sexy star Lina Lamont, against whose rapacity he gently defends himself while bestowing a feeling on a modest, aspiring actress Kathy Selden, who dreams about a career on theater stage. The main character’s friend is Cosmo Brown, musically talented and cheerful – Don’s reliable buddy and coworker. We track the destinies of this foursome on the film set. The events are accompanied by the rivalry between the ladies as well as the love affair between the star and the debutante. For over half a century the audience has loved the humor in „Singin’ in the Rain” – the characters’ adventures on the film set and outside it. And of course the eponymous tune performed in the pouring rain! -The Art Gallery of the 19th century -The Art Gallery of the 20th and 21st centuries Temporary exhibitions: -Masterpieces of Cento, Rome and Polish collections Temporary exhibitions takes place from 20th September 2013 to 2st February 2014 More informations on the website : www.mnw.art.pl -Alladin Jr More informations on the website www.teatrroma.pl/en/
