According to press material: “As day turns to night, fans can sing and dance their hearts out to the classic film soundtrack, roam the corridors with the Pink Ladies, watch the T-Birds at work in the auto shop, or face off against the jocks on the sports field – capped off with an unforgettable enhanced screening of the much-loved musical film.”

Secret Cinema has previously presented immersive screenings of films including Back to the Future, Moulin Rouge!, Casino Royale, Star Wars and Dirty Dancing, among others.

Max Alexander, CEO, said: “For more than a decade, Secret Cinema has been known for entertaining audiences with spectacular worlds based on some of the most iconic and much-loved films of all time. And what could be more iconic and more loved than the nation’s favourite movie musical, Grease? The whole Secret Cinema team could not be more excited to be bringing to life Rydell High and the world of Grease for audiences in Birmingham this summer.”

The production, which runs from 26 July to 13 August at Birmingham’s NEC, will invite audiences to enter the world of Danny and Sandy and their friends at Rydell High. Tickets go on general sale on 5 May.
