THERE will be plenty of summer showers in Southampton this month when Singin' in the Rain splashes into The Mayflower.

Whatever the weather, a fantastic show is guaranteed with this sparkling new production of MGM's unforgettable musical movie.

The show is set at the time when 'talkies' began taking over from silent movies, transforming the face of the movie industry and making life a little tricky for some of the stars who weren't used to having to use their voices.

The show features all the style and spectacle of the golden age of movies and includes all the classic musical numbers from the film, including Good Morning, Make ' em Laugh, You Are My Lucky Star, Gotta Dance and, of course, the title song.

To add to its air of authenticity, the show also features water effects - audience members who sit in the stalls are advised to wear wet weather gear, as there is a good chance of getting soaked!

Singin' in the Rain is on at The Mayflower from May 28 to June 8.
