The West End run of Singin’ in the Rain has extended booking at the West End’s Palace Theatre until 23 February 2013.
It had initially been booking at the Palace, where it opened on 15 February (previews from 4 February), through to 29 September 2012.
The West End cast is led by Adam Cooper as Don Lockwood, Daniel
Crossley as Cosmo Brown, Scarlett Strallen as Kathy Seldon and
Katherine Kingsley as Lina Lamont, with Michael Brandon as RF
Simpson and Sandra Dickinson as Dora Bailey/Miss Dinsmore, all of whom
will reprise their roles from the original Chichester production.
Singin’ in the Rain features songs by Nacio Herb Brown and
Arthur Freed, including “Make ‘em Laugh”, “Good Morning”, ”Moses
Supposes” and the title song. The original screenplay and adaptations
are by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
Church’s production premiered last June at the Festival Theatre, Chichester, where it extended its run due to demand.
The story centres on Don Lockwood, a silent movies star with
everything he could want – fame, adulation and even a well-publicised
‘romance’ with his co-star Lina Lamont. But Hollywood is about to change
forever.
The West End cast is completed by: Brendan Cull, Flora Dawson, Sandra
Dickinson, Jaye Juliette Elster, Peter Forbes, Gemma Fuller, Francis
Haugen, David Lucas, Scott Mobley, Ebony Molina, Gillian Parkhouse,
Sherrie Pennington, Lisa Ritchie and Nancy Wei George.
