Christmas has come early with the Sydney Opera House’s announcement that Elf: The Musical will make its Australian premiere in a presentation designed for the Concert Hall from 19 – 29 December.
It is a part of growing up that one gets to know Grease. The movie has remained firmly in the public consciousness and on rotation since its release whilst the musical undergoes many varied iterations. The latest performance sees a sharper and brighter update whilst featuring the same songs and energy that allow GREASE THE MUSICAL to endure.
This revival of Grease is close to perfection… and dare I say it, I think I prefer it to the film! Not only do we get to follow Sandy and Danny in Grease The Musical, we also become more acquainted with all the Pink Ladies and T-Birds, which results in Grease The Musical feeling much more of a Rydell High ensemble show. Something that is most welcome.
Producers of the multi-million dollar stage musical GREASE have revealed a sneak preview of a recording of one of the beloved musical's favourite songs, You're The One That I Want featuring Annelise Hall in the role of Sandy and Joseph Spanti in the role of Danny. GREASE is set to open in Melbourne on December 31 2023 and at Sydney's Capitol Theatre from March 2024. Watch here!
A brand-new production of the number one party musical GREASE is set to debut as Melbourne's summer musical at Her Majesty's Theatre from January 2024 and the Capitol Theatre in Sydney from March 2024.
