GREASE, Brisbane's summer musical for 2025, has delighted audiences across the country including Melbourne, Sydney and Perth with an Adelaide season scheduled for September before the final Australian season in Brisbane in January 2025.
GREASE features an all-new set, dazzling costumes and all those unforgettable songs from the movie, including Summer Nights, Sandy, Hopelessly Devoted to You, You're The One That I Want, Greased Lightnin', and Grease is the Word.
Since the show's Broadway premiere and the hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John – which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time – the Tony Award nominated GREASE has triumphed across the globe, with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.
Additional seats for the production go on sale this Friday 23 August from 10:00am.
