The musical Grease, with its hits 'Summer Nights' and 'You're the One That I Want', directed by Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Arlene Phillips.
Grease is coming to Hull New Theatre from 1 November to 6 November 2027. It's the musical with book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, and it's billed as the world's best-loved musical. This version is described as grittier and more glamorous than ever, driven by a fresh young cast and a score that pulls in the hits you'll recognise: 'Summer Nights', 'Greased Lightnin'', 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' and 'You're the One That I Want'.
The story follows leather-clad greaser Danny and girl-next-door Sandy, who are reunited when she transfers to Rydell High for her senior year. It's a high school romance set against the backdrop of 1950s Americana, so expect plenty of cars, leather jackets, and the kind of music that's become a shorthand for the era. The production is directed by Nikolai Foster, Artistic Director of Curve, with choreography by Arlene Phillips.

On the practical side, there's a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter provided for the run.
