Get out your leather jackets and pull on your bobby socks with Rydell High’s senior class of 1959.

The producer of HMS Pinafore, Buddy, The Pirates of Penzance and South Pacific, Ben McDonald Productions brings you GREASE the musical.

Featuring all those unforgettable songs from the movie, and dazzling costumes, GREASE is is the original High-School musical, featuring all the unforgettable songs from the hit movie including You're The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin' and many more.

Packed with explosive energy, this high-octane rock ‘n’ roll party is ready to rumble through 25 New Zealand cities from Kerikeri to Invercargill and play some 40 times in what will be an ELECTRIFYING tour.

Since the show’s Broadway premiere in 1972, followed by the 1978 hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John -- which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time -- GREASE has triumphed across the globe, striking a universal chord with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.

Set in 1959 at Rydell High School, GREASE follows 10 working-class kids as they navigate the complexities of love, cars, and drive-ins. Danny Zuko, the hot Greaser, falls in love with the wholesome and pure Sandy Dumbrowski and when their worlds collide, it’s a-wella-wella-umph!
Then there’s Rizzo, the tough and sarcastic leader of the Pink Ladies, whose world turns upside down when she thinks she’s pregnant; Frenchy, the ditzy beauty school drop out; and Vince Fontaine, the egotistical, slimy radio disc jockey trying to relive his teenage years.

So throw your mittens around your kittens and hand-jive the night away with the show that'll make you want to stand up and shout, 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bam-boom!'

Be there or be square!!!
