Noel Sullivan takes over the role of 'Danny Zuko’
from 30th November 2009.

Sandy and Danny spend a summer in love, but think they will never meet again. That is until Sandy unexpectedly joins Danny's high school to find that he is not exactly how she remembers him. Most famous for the 1979 film version starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Grease has become a firm family favourite, not least for its songs which include Summer Lovin', Hopelessly Devoted To You and, of course, Greased Lightning.

Grease is a musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey about the way rock and roll changed American sexuality and culture during the moment when America took its first tentative steps out of the conformity of sexual and social oppression in the 1950s and toward the individualism and sexual freedom of the 1960s. Grease embodies the very real-world cultural friction in its two leading parts; with Sandy as the 50's and Danny 60's. The show takes its name from the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as the greasers. The musical, whichy is set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in Chicago, follows ten working-class kids as they find their way through the complexities of sex, cars and drive-ins. The score is a highly authentic recreation of early, rock and roll, invoking early groups including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Huey "Piano" Smith, Paul Anka, The Diamonds, The Tea Queens, The Cadillacs and many more. Since its early Broadway shows, the musical has been 'atmed' down to suit a wider audience.

The show tackles such social issues as teenage pregnancy and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence and, to some extent, class consciousness/class conflict.

The show became the longest-running Broadway musical in history, until it was beaten by A Chorus Line, and went on to become a West End hit, a hugely successful film, a popular 1994 Broadway revival, and a staple of regional theatre, summer stock, community theatre, and high school and middle school drama groups.
