RESIDENTS of Rhyl have been used to singing in the rain in recent years and will now have a show to match the wet weather in the seaside town.

From the producers of touring hits such as 42nd Street, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, South Pacific and many more, comes a brand new production of Singin’ in the Rain.

The show is appearing at theatres nationwide as it starts a UK tour, starring the Olivier Award winning West End and Broadway star Tim Flavin.

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.

Tim Flavin recently starred as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, which he also directed. He 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.

His other musical credits include Kiss Me Kate, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, White Christmas, Chicago and 42nd Street in a long and distinguished career.

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.

The show will be at the Pavilion Theatre in Rhyl from June 15-20. For ticket information call the box office on 01745 330000.
