About the show

Singin' in the Rain UK Tour 2027 brings the MGM classic live with 14,000 litres of water on stage. Explore tickets for Liverpool, Glasgow and more.

Singin' In The Rain tickets and regional UK dates

Singin' in the Rain comes to UK venues in 2027 in a production staged by Jonathan Church Theatre Productions alongside Chichester Festival Theatre, Stage Entertainment and Sheffield Theatres. The show is based on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, with songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed and a screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

The story and score

Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are Hollywood's most celebrated screen duo, though their polished public image conceals a more complicated picture. The arrival of sound cinema threatens to expose Lina's shortcomings, and a young actress is recruited to salvage the studio's latest film, throwing Don and Lina's partnership into disarray.

The MGM score includes 'Good Morning', 'Make 'em Laugh', and the title number, all performed under licence from Music Theatre International.

Water on stage

Over 14,000 litres of water are used on stage during the production. This is worth bearing in mind when selecting your seats.

Age guidance and running time

Children under three will not be admitted to any of the venues on this tour. Under-16s must sit directly next to an adult aged 18 or over and be supervised throughout. No running time is currently listed; check with your chosen venue closer to your visit.

Train

Sunderland is the nearest station and sits within a 10 minute walk of the theatre. The Tyne and Wear Metro also serves the city, and travel is free for up to two hours before and after the performance on production of a valid show ticket.

Bus

Bus routes passing the theatre include the 3, 11, 12, 24, 53, 77a, 88, 91, 139, 159 and 453.

Parking

The closest car park is The Bridges multi-storey, although its rooftop level has limited opening hours so it is worth checking before you set off. St Mary's and Riverside car parks are also close by. Blue Badge holders will find limited parking outside the Fire Station near the theatre, along with a drop-off area, and disabled bays on Paley Street, reached by following the one-way system along the left-hand side of the building. Traffic and parking are much busier on match days, so allow extra time.
