Julia ParryDirect from the West End; the sparkling touring production of Grease is now on at The Grand Opera House, York.
The much loved all singing all dancing sensation is still wowing audiences of all ages forty years after its first appearance on Broadway in 1972.
Danny Bayne (winner of ITV’s Grease is the Word) is sensational as Danny Zuko, Carina Gillespie is Sandy. The whole cast are full of infectious energy, they sing and dance bringing a vibrant colourful performance to the grey damp reality of autumn.
With its wonderful pastiche of 1950’s pop culture; Grease strikes a universal chord with its irresistible blending of teenage angst and vibrant physicality. The raw energy of the production is thrilling from beginning to end.
