Get ready for summer lovin’ as Grease The Musical heads to Newcastle this summer

Get ready to hand-jive your way to Newcastle’s Theatre Royal, as the iconic musical Grease is set to give North East audiences some summer lovin’ in June. 

The well-known plot of Grease The Musical follows the love story of Sandy and Danny, who reunite at Rydell High School after a whirlwind summer romance, when Sandy transfers to the school for senior year.

While many of us are very familiar with the 1978 film adaption of the musical, which stars Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in the lead roles of Sandy and Danny, the stage production actually came first, premiering in Chicago in 1971.

With iconic and beloved musical numbers such as Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin' Hopelessly Devoted To You and You’re The One That I Want among many more, Grease still remains as one of the most successful musicals of all time.
