Get ready to don your bomber jackets and jive your way to the Dominion Theatre, London because Grease: The Musical is waiting for you! You may have seen the hit film of 1978 starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, but the classic movie was a musical first, written in 1971 by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs and first performed live in February 1972. A feel-good, romantic comedy that returned to London West End this year for its fifth revival, Grease is simply timeless, entertaining people all over the world for the past 50 years.
When Sandy Dumbrowski arrives at Rydell High as a transfer student, the rebellious teen Danny Zuko happens to be there too, the boy from her whirlwind summer loving. Their romance is rekindled, along with the hope of more, despite often being dragged off course by the trouble-stirring Burger Palace Boys and the girls, the Pink Ladies. With Dan Partridge as Danny Zuko and Olivia Moore as Sandy, relive the trials and tribulations of high school with sleepovers, school dances, and first cars – just with a few more toe-tapping tunes and fantastic dance numbers to enjoy. Not to forget the occasional appearances from Peter Andre and Jason Donovan as Vince Fontaine and Teen Angel throughout this West End run… Experience the musical classics, such as ‘You’re the One That I Want’, ‘We Go Together’, ‘Summer Nights’, and more, along with buckets of excitement and cheer.
