What is Grease the Musical about?

Grease the Musical follows ‘good girl’ Sandy and cool but ‘bad-boy’ greaser Danny. They had a secret romance but broke it off as they didn’t live close to each other. This all changes as their paths cross once again. But Danny needs to keep up his image, and peer-pressure is keeping them apart.

Can Danny still keep Sandy in his life, or will it all fall apart?

Some of the timeless hits we can expect include You’re the One That I Want, Greased Lightnin, and Summer Nights. 

Besides the cool tunes, we can expect even cooler moves and vibrant costumes that you’ll find it hard to not dance in your seat.

See ya there!
