Theatre producer John Frost and Universal Music today (August 4, 2013) announced that they will be releasing a cast album of GREASE featuring the new Australian cast. GREASE - The Australian Cast Recording will feature all the GREASE favourites, including You’re The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin’ and many more.

John Frost said, “Australian cast albums are a rarity these day, so I’m thrilled that Universal Music is as excited as I am to record and release a new GREASE album featuring our stunning cast. GREASE is a perennial favourite of musical theatre audiences – I’m often asked when I am bringing it back to the stage – and ticket sales are proving how popular it still is. So I’m sure many fans will want to take home the new cast album to remind them of the show.”
