Grease

Grease is coming to the Swansea Building Society Arena from Monday 5 July to Saturday 10 July 2027, a week-long run that brings the musical back to the city. It's a new production directed by Curve's Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, with choreography by Arlene Phillips and a fresh young cast, including Debbie McGee as Miss Lynch.

Most of us know the story from the 1978 film with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, but that was an adaptation of the stage musical Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey first put on Broadway in 1972, where it earned seven Tony nominations. This version presents itself as a new take on the show, grittier and more glamorous than before and driven by that new cast. The score stays front and centre, with the songs you'll recognise: 'Summer Nights', 'Greased Lightnin'', 'Hopelessly Devoted to You', 'You're the One That I Want' and 'Sandra Dee'.

It runs about two hours and 30 minutes with an interval, and it's recommended for ages 7 and over, so it works as a family outing as much as a night out. With the run stretching from Monday to Saturday, there's a good range of dates to choose from across the week.
