Immersive Grease musical announces complete company

Full casting has been revealed for Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical. 

Based on the 1978 film Grease, the Secret Cinema production (which follows a sold-out run in 2025) features a cast of 30 performers and a live band. Songs from the film, including “Summer Nights”, “Greased Lightnin’” and “We Go Together”, are performed alongside multiple screens showing the original movie.

The experience places audiences within the setting of Rydell High, where they can move through locations including Frosty Palace, the autoshop and a carnival. Elements of the event include participation in scenes such as a pep rally, choir rehearsal and other moments inspired by the film, alongside food and drink themed around a 1950s American diner.

As already revealed, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has joined the show as Teen Angel, alongside the previously announced cast members Stephanie Costi and Lucy Penrose, reprising their roles as Sandy and Rizzo respectively, alongside Giórgios Michaelídes as Danny and Arcangelo Ciulla as Kenickie.

Completing the company are Kieran Alleyne (Sonny), Charlotte Avery (Principal McGee), Em Barrett (Coach), Michelle Bishop (Blanche), Ziki Buswell (Jan), Leah Dane (Cha Cha), David Fearn (Johnny Casino, Alternate Teen Angel), David Heal (Leo Balmudo), Hannah Hague (Marty), Khyrese Heron (Putsie), Joshua C Jackson (Vince Fontaine), Andrew Jackson (Doodie), Imogen Kingsley-Smith (Patty Simcox), Jacob Stebbings (Eugene Felsnick), and Jess Smith (Frenchie), with Kingsley Campbell-Golding, Erin Corfield, Bella Donald, CJ Driver, Abiola Efunshile, Alex Hetherington, Max Ilett, Charles Potter, and Zaya Tserenbat.

We chatted to Wilson earlier this month about dipping his toes into the world of musical theatre and you can watch the highlights below:

The creative team includes director Matt Costain, with choreography by Jennifer Weber (who we interviewed about the show recently), set design by Tom Rogers, lighting design by Howard Hudson and sound design by Gareth Fry. Music supervision, orchestration and arrangements are by Steve Sidwell, with video design by Ian William Galloway. Costume design is by Susan Kulkarni and Martina Trottman, with wigs, hair and make-up by Farida Ghwedar and Jessie Deol, and casting by Grace McInerny for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting.

The 2026 run will include roam and return seating options, allowing audiences to move through the environment before returning to allocated seating areas, including the Frosty Diner and the Drive-In.

The production is produced by Secret Cinema and TodayTix, with Merritt Baer as artistic director and co-founder and Ben Hosford as executive producer.

Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical, which picked up a glowing review from WhatsOnStage last year, will run at Evolution London from 22 July to 13 September.
