The 2023 cast of the West End production of Grease. Credit Johan PerssonAfter two successful summer seasons at the Dominion Theatre and being seen by over 500,000 people, GREASE will tour the UK and Ireland in 2024. GREASE is produced by Colin Ingram, directed by Nikolai Foster, and choreographed by Arlene Phillips. This production has been the most successful summer show for the Dominion Theatre since We Will Rock You.
The 2024 tour will begin at Churchill Theatre, Bromley on 12 April 2024 and runs through until 16 November 2024 at the Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield.
GREASE originally opened in Chicago in 1971, followed by a move to Broadway in 1972, where it received seven Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Musical. During the show's eight-year run at the time, little-known actors including Peter Gallagher, Patrick Swayze and John Travolta all appeared in the production, with Richard Gere understudying many roles before going on to star as Danny Zuko in the 1973 London premiere. GREASE was first performed at the Dominion Theatre in 1993 before transferring to the Cambridge Theatre in 1996. It returned to the West End, opening at the Piccadilly Theatre in 2007.
