Grease celebrates 40th birthday at Poole's Lighthouse
2:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012 in Stage By Ruth Meech
Olivia Newton John and John Travolta
THERE’S a cinematic treat later this month when cult musical Grease marks its 40th anniversary. In a special celebration of the anniversary, Lighthouse in Poole is hosting a Sing-a-long-a Grease party on February 25, with fancy dress strongly encouraged and full audience participation essential.
This unique, interactive show gives fans of the classic film, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, the chance to sing along to the great movie musical, complete with on-screen lyrics.
If you have ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a T-Bird or a Pink Lady but never quite felt cool enough to pull it off, now is your chance to don those pink jackets, grease up those quiffs and let your inhibitions go for an evening where you are the stars. There is also the chance to enter the world famous fancy dress competition.
“It’s the one that you want,” says its producer Ben Freedman, who previously brought us Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music and Sing-a-long-a Abba. “Sing-a-long-a Grease is the show that audiences have been asking for since we first presented a singalong show back in 1999”.
Sing-A-Long-A Grease is at Lighthouse, Poole on February 25 at 7.30pm. Tickets and details are available from the box office on 0844 406 8666.
