Grease is the word

Former Olympic champion and Dancing on Ice judge Robin Cousins is to guest star as Teen Angel in the smash hit musical Grease at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, this autumn. Newsquest Northwest has teamed up with Palace Theatre to promote their great competition to our readers. Enter now for your chance to win one of two pairs of tickets to see Grease at the Palace Theatre, Manchester on Monday, September 26 at 7.30pm.

Following its electrifyin’ four year London run, Grease is back on tour by popular demand, with Danny Bayne starring as Danny Zuko and Carina Gillespie as his sweetheart Sandy – following in the footsteps of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John who famously played the iconic roles in the 1978 movie.

Robin Cousins is one of Britain’s most successful and best loved ice skaters. He retired from the ice rink in 2000, after 30 years on the ice during which he won the Olympic Gold Medal, as well as British, European and World titles. Away from the ice Robin has forged a successful career in theatre including starring roles in Cats, The Rocky Horror Show and he returned to the West End stage last year as Teen Angel in Grease, the role he is reprising in the current tour. Robin recently resided as head judge on the ice panel of ITV’s hit show Dancing on Ice and continued this role for the 2011 Live Tour.

Since breaking out on Broadway in 1972, Grease’s place has been firmly established in the cultural hall of fame. It’s the original high-school musical featuring everyone’s favourite characters - Sandy, Danny, the groovy T-Birds, the sassy Pink Ladies and the whole gang at Rydell High - with all the unforgettable songs including You’re The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted to You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin’ and many more.
