One of the most successful musicals of all time is finally returning live to the stages of Germany after many years! The exciting new production of the cult musical GREASE - the original straight from London - catapults fans into a time between petticoats and leather jackets, fast cars and hot parties and brings the 50s to life.
Accompanied by unforgettable hits such as "You're The One That I Want", "We go together", "Summer Nights" and "Sandy", the brightly colored musical fun takes you on an exciting journey full of longing, love, fun and rebellion.
GREASE is a long-running hit and the story is pure dynamite!
Crazy teenage excitement amidst fast choreography, pointed dialogues and emotional vocal numbers accompanied by the furious rock'n'roll and doo wop sound of the 50s - this love story makes every heart beat faster.
From December 2024, GREASE will stop in Berlin as one of the most successful musicals of all time and shine in new splendor.
With dazzling costumes, a spectacular set and a magnificent, international ensemble, the new production in English promises to preserve the magic of the original while bringing a breath of fresh air to the stage.
Its success story is as unique as the musical:
The authors of GREASE, Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs, certainly had no idea in the early 1970s what a crazy idea could become on a beer-fueled night. Their love story between the cool Danny and the shy Sandy, who meet again under new circumstances at Rydell High School after a holiday fling at the start of the school year, is still considered one of the most beautiful high school romances.
After its premiere in Chicago in 1971, GREASE became one of the most successful musicals of all time from 1972 onwards, with a seven-and-a-half-year run on Broadway in New York and 3,388 sold-out performances.
GREASE became a cult classic at the latest with the legendary film adaptation of the musical in 1978, in which John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sang their way into the hearts of audiences all over the world as the new Hollywood dream couple. The film's soundtrack was number 1 in the USA for 12 weeks, was in the top five of the US pop charts for 244 weeks in a row until February 1998 and is still an evergreen to this day.
GREASE - this is first-class musical entertainment that, with a mixture of nostalgia and timeless energy, continues to delight generations even after more than 50 years and will conquer the dance floor again in 2024 with fresh pomade in their hair.
