Grease The Musical

Grittier and more electrifying than ever before, the world’s best-loved musical returns to London, starring Peter Andre as Vince Fontaine and Jason Donovan as Teen Angel in selected performances.

After a whirlwind summer romance, leather-clad greaser Danny and girl-next-door Sandy are unexpectedly reunited when she transfers to Rydell High for senior year. But can they survive the trials and tribulations of teenage life and find true love once more?

Bursting with hits including Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want, this thrilling new production is directed by the Leicester Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, and choreographed by the legendary Arlene Phillips.

Grease arrives back in the West End for 26 weeks only from 3 May 2022.

The Grease musical starts off with an unexpected reunion. One summer, Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski fall head over heels for one another. So imagine Sandy’s surprise when she transfers school for her senior year and sees Danny walking the corridors. As they rekindle their spark and declare their unrequited love — just like teenagers do — Danny and Sandy have to survive high school first. Dances, prom nights and sleepovers are bigtime events for these Rydell High teens, but can they go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong? Or will they be stranded at the drive-in?

Grease has already gone down in the history books as one of the most well-known musicals of all time. We’ve got Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey to thank, as they created the book, music and lyrics for Grease, with songs including “Greased Lightnin’,” “Summer Nights” and “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” 50 years on from the original show, Grease London performances will now showcase a revitalised Grease, complete with a new, grittier energy.

What to Watch For

• Sadly, we can’t visit a real life Rydell High. But the Grease school is based on a real place, so we can dream of going there insetad. Rydell High is based on William Howard Taft School, a Chicago public school where writer Jim Jacobs attended.
• Grease has transcended musical theatre to be a cultural phenomenon, but did you know Grease started out at a Chicago nightclub? When Grease did make it to Broadway, it was the longest-running Broadway musical of its time.
• We’ve all seen the 1978 Grease film, starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John and Stockard Channing. The Grease film has been preserved by the National Film Registry in the USA as a movie that’s culturally, historically and aesthetically significant. We agree!
• After its Broadway premiere, Grease came to the West End in 1973. To date, Grease has been revived in the West End on five separate occasions, and there have been many national tours.
• This Grease production began as a UK tour in 2019. Nikolai Foster directs, and choreography is by Arlene Phillips.
