While the stage production remains very much true to the story of the movie, the live theater experience is enhanced by the use of 6,000 liters of water and over 100 meters of heavy duty rubber hose.

"There are two huge water tanks that are linked up to bars that run across the stage to allow the rain to fall down," Michelle Bishop, resident director of the production, said.

Then the floor is flooded from beneath on a timer. "We can't get that timing wrong," Bishops says, "otherwise we will flood the wrong people."
