StarWorks and Taran are finally taking the feelgood musical Grease back to the capital!
Chateau Neuf will be transformed into American Rydell High in the spring of 2018 and we promise a fast-paced and spectacular version of the musical classic, a fun and energetic tribute to the innocent American 50s on the way to the more sinful 60s.
GREASE was first staged in Chicago in 1971 before moving to Broadway fairly quickly. It was then made world famous in 1972 in the musical film with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in the lead roles. Songs like "You're the one that I want", "We go together" and "Summer nights" should be familiar to most people.
