The “joyful, communal experience” (WhatsOnStage) and critically acclaimed Grease: The Immersive Musical will return to Battersea Park this summer. It returns after a sell-out run last year!
Reprising their roles from last year, Stephanie Costi (Something Rotten!, Manchester Opera House) and Lucy Penrose (Ancient Grease, The Vaults) return as Sandy and Rizzo respectively, and they are joined by Giórgios Micheldes (Disney’s Newsies, Troubadour Theatre) as Danny and Archangelo Ciulla (A Knight’s Tale The Musical, Manchester Opera House) as Kenickie. Further casting will be announced in due course.
Each performance of Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical takes audiences through a two hours and fifteen minutes spectacular. From ‘Summer Nights’ to ‘Greased Lightnin’’ to ‘We Go Together’, every iconic song from the beloved 1978 Paramount Pictures film comes to life as a knock-out cast and live band perform against multiple movie screens.
From the moment they enter this modern live experience, audiences step into the world of the movie, exploring the iconic locations including Frosty Palace, The Autoshop, and The Carnival and immerse themselves in school spirit, training with Coach Calhoun, cheering on the T-Birds, taking part in a choir practice, and even tasting 1950s American diner-style delights.
The innovative production is brought to life by the multi-award-winning creative team of Director Matthew Costain, Set Designer Tom Rogers, Choreographer Jennifer Weber, Lighting Designer Howard Hudson, Sound Designer Gareth Fry and Video Designer Ian William Galloway.
The production opens at Evolution London in Battersea Park for a strictly limited run from 22 July to 13 September. Further information, including where to book your tickets can be found www.greasetheimmersivemoviemusical.com.
