GREASE THE MUSICAL
The musical Grease is a story of love, friendship and growing up with well known musical numbers and fabulous dance routines. Songs include "You're the One That I Want", "Summer Nights", "We Go Together" and "Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee".
It is an adaptation of the film of the same name starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.
Sandy is an Australian spending her summer holidays in America where she falls in love with uber-cool Danny Zuko. Their love affair ends when Sandy is despatched back to Australia with her parents, but fate intervenes and Sandy's parents move to America.
Sandy ends up at Rydell High - the same school as Danny, but he has a reputation to maintain and can't be seen going out with prim and proper Sandy. Sandy joins the feisty Pink Ladies but can't forget about her summer with Danny. Danny is similarly love struck and after many twists and turns, Sandy transforms herself, leaving behind her good girl persona so that she and Danny are finally united.
Matthew Goodgame is playing Danny and Carina Gillespie is Sandy. The class of Rydell High also includes Jamie Capewell (Kenickie), Siubhan Harrison (Rizzo), Bennett Andrews (Sonny), Robyn Mellor (Marty), Susannah Allman (Patty) and Jason Capewell (Teen Angel/Vince Fontaine) with Kerry Winter (Jan), David O'Reilly (Roger),Michael Pickering (Doody), Zoe Doano (Frenchy),Matthew Russell-Jones (Eugene), Nancy Hill Miss Lynch) and Kristina MacMillan (Cha Cha).
