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. 

With direction & choreography by Callum Mansfield, and musical direction by Dennett Hudson, international drag superstar and entertainer, Courtney Act (aka Shane Jenek) takes on the role of Teen Angel – regarded as one of most fabulous roles in musical theatre.

Courtney Act will be joined by Meghan O’Shea and Damon Wade as Sandy & Danny; Rohan Browne plays all-American rock-star Johnny Casino; Grant Piro joins the cast as disc jockey Vince Fontaine; while Ruby Clark plays Rizzo, the leader of the Pink Ladies; and Chris Geoghegan plays Kenickie, Danny’s best friend and leader of the T-Birds.
