Grease The Musical
Grease is the Word! Grease the Musical has proved that a musical love story, bursting with denim, cheerleaders, slick hairstyles, and raging teenage hormones is timeless - and now it's back in London! This major production of Grease in London features a 'Danny Zuko' and 'Sandy Dumbrowski' that was choosen by the public through the television production Grease Is The Word which was broadcast on ITV during Spring 2007. Although the producers of Grease the Musical in London cannot guarantee the appearance of any particular artist, Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden are expected to perform at all performances until 14 June 2008, subject always to illness and holidays - Susan McFadden will be on holiday from 31 March to 5 April 2008. Danny Bayne will be on holiday from 14 to 19 April 2008. Please Note: All dates subject to change. Grease the Musical is the perfect outing for all the family - this slice of 50s Americana is guaranteed to have even granny hand jiving in the aisle! As leader of the T-Birds, the rebel Danny Zuko oozes sex appeal and can have any 'chick' he desires. High School is only an excuse to flirt with the 'bombshells', get up to mayhem and smoke cigarettes. Along comes Sandy Dumbrowski - a true beauty but a real square - and the chase is on! Everyone has his or her favourite Grease character. The Pink Ladies, led by the irresistible Rizzo, whose hobby is to eat men for breakfast - loud, sassy, feisty and plenty of sex appeal, this is one girl who likes living dangerously. Lovable Frenchy, who dreams of going to beauty school. Vince Fontaine, a smooth operator who leaves his female fans in near hysteria. Miss Lynch, the prudish Principal trying to keep a tight reign on all these hormones and failing miserably. The stage version of the musical Grease features all the unforgettable songs from the hit film including 'You're The One I Want', 'Sandy', 'Grease Is The Word', 'Hopelessly Devoted' and many more! Grease the Musical was originally staged in London at The New London Theatre in the 1970's. The show was then made into a movie that was released in 1978. The movie version was quite different to the original stage version and included a number of new songs. Then a 'new' stage version of Grease was produced in London which, for the first time, included the 'songs from the film'. This production opened at London's Dominion Theatre on 15 July 1993 before closing on 19 October 1996 and transferring to The Cambridge Theatre on 24 October 1996 where it stayed until 4 September 1999. The production completed a number of successful regional tours, returning to London on a number of occasions including to the London Hammersmith Apollo Theatre from 22 October to 3 November 2001 and Victoria Palace Theatre from 2 October 2002 to 6 September 2003. | |||||||
