Advantages: Absolutly phenominal dancing and brilliant atmosphere.

Disadvantages: A few scene changes were a bit weird.

Like most girls my age Grease has played a significant part in my life from the very first time I saw it on video and being all embarrassed by the watermelon dance scene to painstakingly recreating the dance routines every play time and lunch break for the last two years of my primary school.
So when it came to the west end stage I just had to see it, but for one reason or another just didn't make it there, that was until last Monday (26/01/09). My sister bought me tickets for Christmas and boy were we excited.
It is currently in the Piccadilly Theatre which is right by Picadilly Circus Underground station. The tickets prices vary but you can usually get some good deals. We paid £30 for top price stalls on last minute but you can get them as cheap as £15 and as expensive as £65.
The theatre is small but cosy and has a nice feeling about it. They have a wide range of merchandise from pink ladies hoodies and hats to flashing lights and watches. There are two types of program a small basic one for £3.00 and a large book for £6.00.
We were sat four rows from the front and the atmosphere was amazing.
The show opens with the band all in their pink jackets and they play a medley of all the songs from grease.
Then the show started the singing and dancing was phenomenal, It was amazing to watch as twelve dancers are in perfect timing to the very second.
The stage show is based on the film however some of the songs are out of the original sequence and there are added scenes and changes to some of the stroyline. Some are good changes like the addition of a 'shower scene' (you will have to go and see it to find out) other changes I didn't like so much, such as Sandy is a lot more feisty in the stage show and Crater face and his gang are no where to be seen. The actors were brilliant Danny was played by Danny Bayne who was the winner of the show Grease is the word. A show to find the new Danny and Sandy. Sandy is played by Nicola Brazil. My favourite actress by far was Laura Wilson who played Jan, she had a lot more scenes in the show than the film and she was excellent.
I would highly recommend this for a night out with the girls.

Summary: A brilliant show perfect fun night out we left buzzing !!
