Steps star Faye Tozer is joining the cast of the Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Singin' in the Rain. Also joining the cast is former Strictly Come Dancing professional, Kevin Clifton as well as Charlotte Gooch and Cavin Cornwall.

The musical will be running at London's Sadler's Wells theatre for a strictly limited season from 30th July to 5th September.

What's Singing in the Rain about?

Based on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's legendary 1952 movie musical of the same name, Singin' in the Rain takes us back to 1920s Hollywood where the movie industry is about to change forever with the introduction of the 'talkies', which will eventually wipe out the classic silent movie.

Movie stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are forced to quickly adapt when their studio tries the new format, unfortunately, they are hit with problems when Lina's voice doesn't quite suit a movie musical. Don asks for the help of chorus girl Kathy Seldon who will dub over Lina's unique voice, but can she stay hidden behind the microphone forever?
