Singin' in the Rain and Chicago
August 12, 2025, 1-2 pm

Online Zoom Session

Singin' in the Rain often ranks as the best film musical ever made - and, indeed, one of the best movies ever made. Set in 1927, the film tells the story of silent film stars as they navigate Hollywood's transition from the silent era to "talkies." No, Singin' in the Rain was not filmed in Chicago, but at least six of the movie's cast members are from or have strong connections to the Windy City. So, on this virtual tour with Kelli Marshal of Chicago Movie Tours, we will celebrate this delightfully entertaining Hollywood musical.
