‘Grease the Musical’ at the Churchill Theatre Bromley review

For those among us who are Generation X, ‘Grease' is likely to have formed a significant backdrop to their formative years. Released in 1978, the film ‘Grease' became a cultural phenomenon and helped to make stars of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Now there is the opportunity to experience ‘Grease the Musical' during its UK tour. Get yourself along to see ‘Grease is the Word', ‘Summer Nights', ‘Greased Lightning', ‘We Go Together', ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You' and, of course, ‘You're the One That I Want' and other favourites sung live and performed with an orchestra in the magic of live theatre.

‘Grease' started life in the early 1970s as a theatrical production, before being adapted for the big screen. The director of ‘Grease the Musical', Nikolai Foster, has spoken of his desire to return the show to its theatrical origins. This is a somewhat less soft-focussed view of American adolescence in the 1950s than the big-screen version, but the original period setting is retained. Just don't expect Kenickie's 1948 Ford De Luxe convertible to be quite so pink and polished as the one in the film!

The action takes place at Rydell High School. At the start of term, leader of the Burger Palace Boys, Danny Zuko (Marley Fenton) boasts to his gang about his sexual conquest over the summer. At the same time, new girl Sandy (Hope Dawe) tells the Pink Ladies gang about a real gentlemen that she met over the summer. Lo and behold they are talking about one another. By coincidence, Sandy has become a student at Danny's school. The upshot of this coincidence is that the audience is tipped off that Danny behaves differently around his mates, keen as he is to keep up the braggadocio.

As anyone who's seen the film will know, there isn't a strong linear plot to ‘Grease'. Rather, it's an observation of teenagers fitting in as they find their way towards adulthood. Along the way there's tall stories about romances with marines, a suspected pregnancy, a date at the open air cinema and an end of year school prom. Danny knows that he's treating Sandy badly to save face in front of his friends, and at the same time Sandy struggles to find a way to connect with Danny on his terms. As the prom approaches, there's love a'plenty in the air. There's even a bonkers deus ex machina moment when the Teen Angel (Joe Gash, who also plays DJ Vince Fontaine) descends from the clouds to dispense words of wisdom to Frenchy during the ‘Beauty School Dropout' scene.

Excellent set design and lighting gives this production the room to breathe. It springs to life from the opening number, ‘Sandy'. The young ensemble cast ensures that the energy stays high throughout. Marley Fenton and Hope Dawe, as Danny and Sandy, have the most difficult jobs as it's hard to dissociate the iconic characters from their big screen performers. Nevertheless, both are sufficiently different to ensure they can put their own stamp on the roles. The same issue that has always nagged me when watching ‘Grease' comes through: Danny and Sandy spend very little time together so the opportunity to develop a rapport is reduced to a handful of scenes. Ultimately (spoiler alert), Sandy opts to act out of character in order to win Danny's enduring affections, which the story perhaps gets away with thanks to its 1950s setting.

That weakness in the plot aside, the book allows for all of the principal members of the cast to enjoy their moments to stand out. George Michaelides is an impressive Kenickie, capturing the right attitude and bringing a strong physical presence to the role. The scene between Jan (Emerald B) and Lewis Day (Roger) is delightfully played and impressively sung. One of the most memorable characters, Rizzo, is brilliantly brought to life by Rebecca Stenhouse. She captures the dual sassiness/vulnerability of the character. There is an abundance of witty dialogue between the members of the male and female gangs to ensure that the show raises more than a few laughs.

‘Grease the Musical' whisks you into a world of welcome nostalgia, whether that's for the 1950s setting and songs or for those 70s and 80s kids who grew up with the film. The stage production is a reminder that the showstoppers are fantastic and the show's core strength. Everyone will have their favourite, but I loved hearing the Pink Ladies sing ‘Sandra Dee' and seeing Kenickie lead the up-tempo ‘Greased Lightening' the most.

Deliberately, ‘Grease the Musical' is more down to earth than the film version, and the teenagers are raunchier and less immediately likeable. But it's a good thing to see a fresh take on an old favourite to try to keep it relevant. Whether or not the appeal of ‘Grease' will resonate down the generations remains to be seen. I hope so, but I suspect the main audience the show will attract will be those whose teenage years were filled with these wonderful 1950s-style songs.

Paul McCartney 2024 UK tour dates, and how to get tickets

Sir Paul McCartney has announced his first UK shows since headlining Glastonbury in 2022.

The Beatles star, 81, will bring his Got Back tour to London and Manchester in December 2024.

“It’s always such a special feeling to play shows on our home soil.

“It’s going to be an amazing end to the year. Let’s get set to party. I can’t wait to see you.”

Sir Paul launched his Got Back tour in 2022, completing 16 shows across the US before his Glastonbury appearance.

The show includes music from throughout his career, including songs from the Beatles and Wings eras as well as his solo material.

i ’s culture editor, Sarah Carson, described the show as “a masterclass from the greatest living cultural figure in this country’s history”.

The tour dates mark his first live shows in the UK since his headlining set at Glastonbury in June 2022, where he became the festival’s oldest solo headliner.

That set featured surprise appearances from Bruce Springsteen and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl .

Sir Paul performed Beatles and Wings songs in a set lasting more than two hours, and was joined on stage by Springsteen for “Glory Days” and “I Wanna Be Your Man”.

His electrifying set was further amplified when he introduced Grohl to the stage to sing “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Band On The Run”.

When is Paul McCartney touring the UK?

Sir Paul will play Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena on December 14 and 15 and London’s O2 on December 18 and 19.

Sir Paul will also take his Got Back show to France and Spain, after previously announcing upcoming dates in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru this October.

In 2023, he performed 18 shows throughout Australia, Mexico and Brazil.
