The world's best-loved musical returns, directed by Nikolai Foster, with a fresh young cast. Presented with open captioning, audio description and a touch tour.
Grease is back at the Donald Gordon Theatre in the Wales Millennium Centre, running from 3 to 8 May 2027. It's the musical most of us know by heart, and this version is directed by Nikolai Foster, the Artistic Director of Curve, with choreography by Arlene Phillips. The book, music and lyrics are by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
It's billed as the world's best-loved musical, and this production brings it to life with a fresh young cast. The score is full of the hits you'll recognise: Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin', Hopelessly Devoted to You and You're the One That I Want.
There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. The show is aimed at ages 8 and up, with no under-2s allowed, and anyone under 16 needs to be seated with an adult aged 18 or over. There's also a warning about strong language. On the accessibility side, the production includes open captioning, audio description and a touch tour.
