Grease

It was OK. Fun and a bit sassy with good music aka Grease. But when I watched it, there was really no chemistry between Sandy and her man and the lead actress was a bit dull, for my taste. Nevertheless, a fun, boppy night out if you are in that sort of mood!

ugh, so not worth it. I love the film and was intrigued to see how they would replicate bits e.g. the car race on stage. Well the answer is they didn’t. Essentially they have just cut out all the plot and done the songs back to back, it’s like watching an evening of grease themed karoke. If you have the cd put it on and listen to it all the way through it’ll be the same experience but cheaper.

absolutely brilliant! i went there after a long day at uni and left the show feeling full of energy again! i couldn’t take my eyes from the stage… the cast is superb, great outfits and amazing voices…
it was my first musical experience and i definitely recommend it to everyone!
—- if you plan to go check the website to see if you can get any reduced tickets, i did it and got them at a good price.

grease is a classic show, brilliantly acted and unmissable. personally i prefered the film to the live stage version of the show however, although you do get more of a sense of fun and atmosphere when you see it performed on the stage. its a shame john travolta isnt in the stage version. If you are a fan of the west end, at some point you will have to see this show.

Not a big Grease fan but took the family along as a Christmas treat. Pleasantly surprised as I found myself swept along with the singalong [shame there was no standing up and dancing ie lacked atmosphere]
The ‘Danny’ character has been made the star of the show and as ‘Sandy’ seems to have been slightly sidelined.
The whole cast put their heart and soul into the performance and there was all something going on in the background to keep me interested as the ‘story’ progressed.
The theatre itself was comfortable and clean, all staff seemed to be helpful and courteous.
All in all a good family night out.

I LOVE grease. this theatrical was excellent, really, really entertaining, all the staff were really polite and friendly, and the theatre was clean and the show was absolutely brilliant. there were no faults. Really nothing to criticise. Fantastic show. Everyone should see it, very uplifting. and you will leave singing all the songs. Brilliant!!!

This musical hit the headlines with its selection of the original cast by reality TV show. The couple chosen have the voices and the looks but lack the chemistry that are core to the Grease story.
Who can forget the performance that Olivia Newton-​John and John Travolta put up in the original film? Watching the movie you can feel the attraction and emotions between the lead actors.
One enters the Piccadilly Theatre with an expectation of a show similar to the movie and the production itself does manage this. The original score is used, the set is believable, the script is well done the production manages the fine line between existing in its own right and being the shadow of a film.
But in all of this the performance of the stars of the show is the biggest let-​down. They have excellent voices and act pretty well, but the character is missing.
I was disappointed by this production wait until they have new leads until you go and see it.
