Wolverhampton Grand Theatre is to open its new Autumn Season with one of the best-loved musicals of all time, Singin’ In The Rain from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 September. Starring Olivier Award winning, West End and Broadway star Tim Flavin in the role of Don Lockwood, the famous part immortalised by Gene Kelly in the 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.
Tim Flavin won an Olivier Award for his role in the West End production of On Your Toes and received best actor nominations for his parts in My One and Only and Crazy For You. He recently starred as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz at the Theatre Royal Brighton, which he also directed. His other musical credits include Kiss Me Kate, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, White Christmas, Chicago and 42nd Street, in a long and distinguished career. He is delighted to be playing the role of Don Lockwood,
“Gene Kelly has had a huge influence on my life in terms of wanting to be a performer. I’ve gone from being a little boy watching the film version of Singin’ In The Rain to going full circle, performing and living it 6 days, 8 shows a week - it’s fantastic!”
Produced by Peter Frosdick and Martin Dodd for UK Productions, Singin’ In The Rain is directed by Alison Pollard, choreographed by Graeme Henderson with Musical Supervision by Gareth Williams. Set design is by Charles Camm, with costumes by Elizabeth Dennis, lighting design by David Howe and sound design by Ross Portway and Jon Higson.
