THE multi Olivier award-winning hit musical Sunny Afternoon visits Wales Millennium Centre on its national tour in January.

Telling the story of The Kinks, the production stars Ryan O’Donnell as Ray Davies, with Mark Newnham as Dave Davies, Garmon Rhys as bassist Pete Quaife and Andrew Gallo as drummer Mick Avory.

Set against the back-drop of a Britain caught mid-swing between the conservative 50s and riotous 60s, this production explores the euphoric highs and agonising lows of one of Britain’s most iconic bands and the irresistible music that influenced generations.

With music and lyrics by Ray Davies, Sunny Afternoon features some of The Kinks’ best-loved songs, including You Really Got Me, Waterloo Sunset and Lola.

The show runs from January 17 -21. Visit wmc.org.uk for details.
