The brand-new production will feature an all-Australian star cast and crew, and will showcase some of the country’s most talented actors, dancers, and musicians. Audiences can expect to hear all the classic songs from the original show, such as “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” and “You’re the One That I Want,” as well as some exciting new arrangements.

The new production will also feature updated choreography, stunning costumes, and state-of-the-art stage design, taking the classic show to a whole new level.

“I am thrilled that GREASE, one of the world’s all-time favourite musicals, is returning to Australia in a brand-new production featuring an all-Australian creative team. GREASE has always been about having fun and coupled with the much-loved songs and choreography, I know that this will be the party musical that everyone is talking about for a long time to come,” said Producer John Frost.

Since the show’s Broadway premiere and the hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John – which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time – the Tony Award nominated GREASE has triumphed across the globe, with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.

At the time that it closed originally on Broadway in 1980, GREASE’s 3,388-performance run was the longest musical in Broadway history, and with the addition of the recent Pink Ladies series currently on Paramount, GREASE is officially the most expansive cinematic universe derived from a stage musical.

With its timeless story of love, friendship, and teenage rebellion, Grease remains one of the most popular and beloved musicals of all time, and this new production is sure to be a hit with audiences of all ages.

So mark your calendars and get ready to sing, dance, and rock and roll with one of the most iconic musicals of all time.
