London’s West End smash hit musical Grease - voted the No.1 greatest musical of all time by Channel 4 UK, is coming to New Zealand this August.
Packed with explosive energy, London’s high-octane rock ‘n’ roll party is ready to rumble in Auckland from August 5 for a strictly limited season.
The 25-strong, spectacular international cast will turn The Civic into Rydell High School in a stage production that’s truly electrifying!
Since the show’s Broadway première in 1972, followed by the 1978 hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time - Grease has triumphed across the globe, striking a universal chord with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.
Featuring all those unforgettable songs from the movie, and dazzling costumes, Grease is a perfect period piece – a pastiche of the 1950s: “fast, furious and thrilling, an injection of raw energy... and fun, fun, fun”, according to The Daily Mirror (UK).
With 142 costume changes, 16 leather jackets and 59 wigs, 10 jumbo cans of hairspray and 8 pots of gel used each week, this new production of Grease is bigger than ever!
Talking of the show’s appeal and purpose, director David Gilmore explains, “Grease doesn’t have a message ... it gives a flavour of being a teenager in the 50s when rock ’n’ roll and putting grease on your hair were the most important things in life and this is the level that we should take it on.”
