IN PICTURES: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN READY TO POUR DOWN ON MK THEATRE

Unsure what theatre production to book for next? Then let us suggest you 'splash' out on a ticket for Singin' in the Rain, which arrives at Milton Keynes Theatre on Tuesday (July 1), direct from a stay in the West End. '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 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 tradition and will chorus girl Kathy Seldon fulfil her dream of stardom and capture Don's heart along the way?' Singin' in the Rain stars Maxwell Caulfield, famed for his role as Miles Colby in Dynasty and The Colbys, and for his time spent in Emmerdale and Holby City. He has theatre pedigree to boot, and has worked Chicago in the West End and on Broadway. "As a huge fan of the original movie, the chance to bring this story to life on stage is something I couldn't pass up," Maxwell said. "Theatre work is a huge passion of mine and having dealt with a few studio bosses in my time too, I relish the opportunity to play RF Simpson in this glorious production." Vicky Binns, who played Molly Dobbs in Corrie, is Lina in the production. The acclaimed production uses half a mile of flexible pipe work, a 10 tonne water tank and uses more than 12,000 litres of downpour every performance - fret not though, that water is recycled! Tickets for the show start at £15 and rise to £45.
