Talking Musical History

Chris and Kevin ending the first season of our podcast with Singin’ in the Rain: Who’s Voice is it Anyway? As we venture down the rabbit hole with the 1952 classic musical. It was also adapted for a stage musical of the same name, featuring Tommy Steele in 1983. Here we explore voice dubbing, what the show could have been, where it comes from, with background and references as usual, to help focus the magnifying glass on this classic gem. Hope you enjoyed what we have brought you so far and continue to in the future. We will back next season, starting with Annie. If you want to support us and our ventures with Skye Rainbow Productions, then find us on Facebook at our page Find the Courage, check out our Skye Rainbow Productions YouTube channel and our website at skyerinbow.com. For those looking to contribute financially to our projects, please donate to our Patreon at patreon.com/stonewallthemusical. Thank you for your support.
