The acclaimed musical will take centre stage at Milton Keynes Theatre this July.

Singin’ In The Rain will star stage and screen leading man, Maxwell Caulfield, as studio boss R.F. Simpson, Coronation Street favourite Vicky Binns as starlet Lina Lamont, James Leece as Don Lockwood, Amy Ellen Richardson as Kathy Selden and Stephane Anelli as Cosmo Brown.

Don Lockwood is a silent movie star with everything he could want – fame, adulation and a well publicised ‘romance’ with his co-star Lina Lamont. But Hollywood is about to change forever.

There is a rumour in the studio of a new kind of film where the actors actually talk and sing and dance.

Can Don and the uniquely voiced Lina make the transition and will chorus girl Kathy Selden fulfil her dream of stardom and capture Don’s heart along the way?

Vicky Binns, who is best know as Molly Dobbs in Coronation Street, said: “To be in a musical of this scale and quality is a dream job for me. I was blown away when I saw this production in the London so it’s a thrill to bring it straight from the West End to Milton Keynes.

“If, like me, you have seen and love the film, it is a real treat to see how it can be brought so lavishly to the stage. If not, what a way to experience the story for the first time; you can’t beat live Theatre!

The part of Lina Lamont is a gift of a role as the writing is packed with humour, pathos and well...fabulousness!”

The musical uses half a mile of flexible pipe work and a 10 tonne water tank to create a downpour from above and flooding from below the stage.

Performances are from Tuesday, July 1 to Saturday, July 12 at 7.30pm each evening except the Sunday. There are also matinees at 2.30pm on the Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Tickets cost from £15 to £49.50 from the box office on 08448 717652.
