A spokesperon for Darlington Hippodrome has said the show needs "no introduction".

 

"(Grease) seems to be built into everyone’s memory from birth.

"The cheesy boy meets girl over the summer, boy is too cool for her back at school, boy realises the error of his ways, boy and girl get back together story line is never going to win any literary prizes but the characters and the music are infectious."

The much loved musical has been popular since 1978, when the film adaptation starring John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John took the box office by storm.
