Grease at the Playhouse Theatre
Go back to the 50s and get ready for Summer Lovin' with this fab take on a well-loved classic
Summer loving had me a blast, oh yeah
Summer loving happened so fast,
I met a girl crazy for me,
Met a boy cute as can be,
Summer days drifting away,
To, uh oh, those summer nights
Undoubtedly, you’re currently already humming along to the above lyrics and picturing a suave, sexy John Travolta singing to a young, blonde Olivia Newton-John. If you’re a fan of the much-loved 1978 musical then grab your comb, make your hair as big as can be, get your leather tights on and head to the Playhouse Theatre from Thursday, 27 August until Saturday, 12 September for director Darryl Spijker’s staging of the timeless hit.
Get lost in the famous love story and sing along to hit after hit as expertly delivered by the Shiraz-band, with accompanying choreography by Sume Lotter. If you’ve been living under a rock (or just not an 80s/ 90s kid) here’s a very short plot synopsis. Boy (Danny) meets girl (Sandy), and they have one night of ‘Summer Lovin’’ at the beach.
Danny goes back to school and discovers Sandy has emigrated and is now there too. They’re very different people – Sandy is as wholesome as they come and Danny is the leader of the T-Birds, a group of too-cool-for-school greasers. Will they be able to overcome their differences and the challenges of high school in the 50s to rekindle their romance? Best you watch and see for yourself.
Girls, grab your most appropriate Pink Ladies attire, and guys, dig out those leather jackets: it’s Grease Lightning time and everyone’s invited along for the ride!
