Tim Flavin plays Don Lockwood, the famous part immortalised by Gene Kelly in the unforgettable film version.

Singin’ in the Rain exudes all the style and spectacle of the MGM golden age and features some of the best loved comedy routines, dance numbers, and songs ever written, including ‘Good Morning’, ‘Make ‘em Laugh’, ‘Moses Supposes’, ‘You Were Meant For Me’ and the most famous song and dance number of all time, ‘Singin’ in the Rain’. It’s a show guaranteed to lift your spirits and send you out singing and dancing, whatever the weather.
