“Following its Chichester and West End premieres this production has now been seen by millions of people around the world - as far afield as China, Russia, Japan, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
“It’s even more thrilling to start this tour at the mighty Sheffield Crucible where my directing career began.
“I look forward to UK audiences revelling in the dazzling choreography of this classic musical treat and marvelling at the 14,000 litres of water that the company splashes its way through every night!”
Set in glamorous 1920s Hollywood, the show tells the story of silent film stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont as they navigate the arrival of sound in cinema.
Filled with romance, wit and high-energy choreography, the stage production is also known for its technical spectacle, featuring more than 14,000 litres of water used on stage each night.
The musical features a screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and includes the well-loved MGM score by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed.
Audiences can look forward to classic songs such as Good Morning, Make ’em Laugh and the iconic title number Singin’ in the Rain.
The creative team includes choreographer Andrew Wright, set and costume designer Simon Higlett, lighting designer Tim Mitchell and musical supervisor Robert Scott.
Casting for the tour has yet to be announced.
