The musical Grease premiered at Broadway in 1972, and was followed by the 1978 hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
The movie went on to make stars of the cast and a movie-musical legend when it went on to become the highest grossing film of its kind. The
show is touring the country and is soon to rock 'n' roll onto the Baycourt stage - bobby socks and all.
Complete with the unforgettable songs, dazzling costumes and adolescent angst, this show features all those unforgettable songs including You're The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, and Greased Lightnin'.
Set in 1959 at Rydell High School, Grease follows 10 working-class kids as they navigate the complexities of love, cars, and drive-ins. The movie triumphed across the globe, striking a universal chord with its mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.
So throw your mittens around your kittens and hand-jive the night away with the show that'll make you want to shout 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bam-boom!'
