Grease cast changes from 16 Jun 2008

There are major cast changes in Grease, at the Piccadilly Theatre, from 16 June 2008.

Other cast members joining from 16 June include Stuart Ramsay (Kenickie), Natalie Langston (Rizzo), Kristofer Harding (Roger) , Emily Bull (Frenchy), Laura Wilson (Jan), Emma Stephens (Marty), Benjamin Ibbott (Eugene), Emma Green (Patty), Chloe Brooks (Miss Lynch) and Kristina Macmillan (Cha Cha). Jason Capewell continues as 'Vince' / 'Teen Angel', and Bennett Andrews as 'Sonny'.

Grease opened on 8 Aug 2007, following previews from 25 July, to mostly poor notices from the popular press: THE EVENING STANDARD says, "How under-sexed, how under-done and under par I found director David Gilmore's attempt to put the brilliantine back into Grease!" THE TIMES says, "Lacklustre production." THE INDEPENDENT says, "Completely unaffecting production...a jukebox masquerading as a musical."

Grease is written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, with additional songs B Gibb, J Farrar, L St Louis & S Simon.

It is directed by David Gilmore, choreography by Arlene Phillips, and produced by Paul Nicholas and David Ian by arrangement with Robert Stigwood.

Songs from the show include 'Grease (Is The Word)'; 'You're The One That I Want'; 'Greased Lightning'; 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' and 'Sandy'.
