Who’s involved in GREASE?
2022 marks five decades years since GREASE first opened on Broadway. It was a seminal moment but nobody realised at the time that the musical would prove such a huge hit in so many countries. The appeal of Danny and Sandy’s high school romance never seems to fade, nor does the score. Classic tunes join impeccable performances to deliver something extra-special to London’s theatre scene.

- It moved to Broadway in 1972, receiving seven Tony Award nominations including Best Musical
- During the show's eight year Broadway run Peter Gallagher, Patrick Swayze and John Travolta all appeared on stage. Richard Gere understudied several roles before going on to star as Danny Zuko in the 1973 London premiere
- Back then and today, the show features songs to remember. Think Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin', Hopelessly Devoted To You, You're The One That I Want, and many more
- The 1978 film adaptation starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John is the fourth highest-grossing live action musical... ever
- This version of GREASE is directed by Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Dame Arlene Phillips
- Dan Partridge plays Danny and Olivia Moore plays Sandy
- Peter Andre plays Vince Fontaine at some performances
- The special Guest Star Jason Donovan plays Teen Angel for 6 weeks from 29th June
