Overview

• The production transforms a former exhibition hall at Evolution London into an interactive Rydell High and 1950s funfair, blending live performances, film projection and pre-show carnival rides.
• Director Matt Costain, choreographer Jennifer Webber and designer Tom Rogers deploy elaborate set pieces—from drive-in cars to a working ferris wheel—to recreate Grease’s nostalgic Americana.
• Ticket tiers range from £49 general admission to £149 VIP, with premium holders gaining stage participation in dance routines and themed seating areas.
• Midway through its six-week run to September 7, the show has earned praise for its ambition and coordination while critics highlight audience disorientation and lost intimacy in the vast hangar space.
• Secret Cinema’s latest immersive outing underscores the company’s influence in experiential theatre and reignites debate on balancing spectacle with clear narrative in large-scale events.
