Ricky Wilson said, “At school I was in Grease and I feel I have to redeem myself. I was not yet the international pop sensation I am today and I only really wanted to do it cos I fancied the girl who played Frenchie (I was Doody) so this is my chance to show everyone I should have got a bigger part. I don’t believe anyone from that production is now a professional singer, so in short, I win.”

This summer Secret Cinema is welcoming audiences back to Rydell High once more with the return of Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical, following its sold-out run in 2025. The production will open at Evolution London in Battersea Park for a strictly limited run from 22 July to 13 September.

Each performance of Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical is two hours and fifteen minutes. Come down to Rydell High and relive memorable moments from ‘Beauty School Dropout’, featuring Teen Angel star Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs, The Voice), and ‘Summer Nights’, to ‘Greased Lightnin’’ and ‘We Go Together’. Every iconic song from the 1978 Paramount Pictures film will come to life as a live cast and band perform against multiple movie screens.

The innovative production is brought to life by the creative team of Matthew Costain - Director; Tom Rogers - Set Designer; Jennifer Weber - Choreographer; Howard Hudson - Lighting Designer; Gareth Fry - Sound Designer and Ian William Galloway - Video Designer.
