The production features the irresistible songs from the Tony Award nominated Broadway show and hit movie, including ‘You’re The One That I Want,’ ‘Grease Is The Word,’ ‘Summer Nights,’ ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You,’ ‘Greased Lightnin’ and many more.

Grease follows love-struck bad-boy Danny and girl-next-door Sandy in a thrilling injection of pure fun with astounding dancing and amazing songs made famous by the iconic 1978 film.

The young production team is headed up by director Amy Quinlan-Dunstall, musical director Rob Schafer, choreographer Andrea Campusano and voice coach Emma Brown and features over 45 extremely talented young performers between the ages of 15-26 years from across the local area.

Show producer Lynda Minshull said: “We were very excited to take up the challenge this iconic show presents.
