Wax tells me some fools are putting on a Finnish stage version of Singin' in the Rain, my favorite movie.



It's eminently suited to stage, don't get me wrong. The problem is that apparently Don and Cosmo are being played by fat middle-aged guys. Leaving aside the athletic DANCE MASTERY exhibited by these characters, that's still foolish.

The entire plot of SITR hinges on this dude



being the hottest heartthrob in Hollywood, which is why they cast Gene Kelly who, aging though he was, kind of was.

So... come on, seriously you guys.



You guys. Seriously.

AMEN.

*delurks* The Swedish version was absolutely fantastic, (almost) as good as the movie. Rennie Mirro, Carl Dyall, Hanna Lindblad. In fact, that's probably why they're putting it on in Finland at all, that it was so successful I mean.

The logic leading up to it makes sense. It's only the casting that doesn't...
