Grease 2: Live in Concert Returns

Get out the hair gel and dust off your leather jackets. Grease 2: Live in Concert brings Rydell High’s Class of ’61 to Melbourne’s Chapel off Chapel after a successful Midsumma season earlier this year.

Following a sellout premiere season, this concert style musical returns to the Melbourne stage bursting with back-to-back songs from the original soundtrack – ‘Back to School Again’, ‘Reproduction’, ‘Cool Rider’ and a string of 1960′s chart toppers. Hand-jiving is out and rock music is in!

Grease 2: Live in Concert will star Josh Piterman (West Side Story, Kismet), Melanie Ott (Hot Shoe Shuffle), Gemma Purdy (X Factor, Shane Warne – The Musical) and Dave Burrows (Kismet).

Josh Piterman is having a ball rehearsing for his new role as “Michael Carrington” in the tongue in cheek musical concert. Regularly cast as the leading man with his chiselled good looks and brilliant tenor voice Josh is excited to break out of the norm for this comedic based role.

“I’m so excited to be part of this production; it is so much fun,” says Josh Piterman.

Grease is still the word. For a strictly limited season.

Director: Karl McNamara. Musical Director: Drew Downing. Choreographer: Joel Anderson.
