The world's most loved musical, GREASE, that will feature over 500 performers will hit the stage at QUDOS BANK ARENA for two shows only on 20 January 2018.

Executive Producer, Tim O'Connor, is delighted to announce three new Big-League cast members for the Sydney season.

International Drag superstar singer and entertainer, Courtney Act (aka Shane Jenek), will take on the role of Teen Angel - regarded as one of most fabulous roles in musical theatre.

2016 X Factor winner and Eurovision Finalist, Isaiah Firebrace, will amp up the rock n roll as Johnny Casino.

The Footy Show's very own long-time larrikin Beau Ryan will showcase his zany humour and suit up in the role of the cheesy DJ Vince Fontaine.

Courtney Act first rose to national prominence when he was bumped out of Australian Idol as Shane Jenek, but then re-auditioned as Courtney Act and raced through to the Semi Finals. She then took off for the bright lights of the USA and landed on the international hit show, "RuPaul's Drag Race". Since then Courtney has toured her cabaret act around the world.

Isaiah Firebrace burst into the public domain when he won the 2016 X Factor Series and then held the Australian flag high coming seventh in the 2016 Eurovision Contest. Isaiah will belt out one of the all-time favourite numbers from the show "Born to Hand Jive".

Beau Ryan is well known to Sydney audiences as the loveable larrikin on the NRL Footy Show, but this is not his first venture onto the stage. In 2015 he starred in Bonnie Lythgoes' Aladdin, which gave him a taste for the 'live theatre' experience.

The ultimate party musical features all the favourite hits including; "You're the One That I Want", "Greased Lightnin'", "Summer Nights", "Beauty School Drop Out" and "Born to Hand Jive".

Grease is the timelessly funny story of 1950s teen love, cliques, and peer pressure. Join your favourite Rydell High students, Danny & Sandy, The T-Birds and the Pink Ladies along with a cast of hilarious characters as they jive and bop their way to Graduation.
