Saw this last night in Brighton (the final stop as far as I'm aware) Thoughts: Odd staging with handheld microphones for some of the songs, it worked well for Those Magic Changes because it's whats-his-name's fantasy of being adulated, but for Greased Lightning & YTOTIW it got in the way. Danielle Hope is perfect for this role, some lovely high notes hit. I could swear I heard some audience members singing along from Hopelessly Devoted onwards, if that was the case they deserved a slap. Tom Parker acted well as Danny, especially considering this is his first stage role. Good comedic timing on the drive-in scene. Not quite vocally up to it & cut some high notes short in Sandy. Unfortunately Danny is written as a complete arsehole and can't really be anything else no matter how he's played. Very upset they cut Freddy My Love, one of my favourites, meaning Marty had nothing to do. She, Frenchy and Jan along with the interchangable T-Birds made the most of thankless roles. Louisa Lytton's acting felt like a watered-down version from the film, she could have gone a lot further especially with mocking Sandy. Vocally not quite up to it either, notes cut short in TAWTICD when that song's supposed to be the most powerful of the show. Ensemble outstanding, as is often the case with these shows. Charlotte Coggin, Callum Evans & George Olney were particular standouts with George hitting some crazy notes as Teen Angel.

When I saw the tour in Bristol the audience were TERRIBLE. Here is a recording of Danielle trying to sing hopelessly devoted to you. The audience were trying to have a sing off with her.

Kind members of the forum, do any of you own any souvenir brochures or have any photos of the 1990s West End production of Grease?
I am specifically interested in the Prom / High School Hop / Hand Jive scene at the start of Act 2, as I own a few costumes from this scene and would love to find photographs of them on stage.
Sadly, as this production was before the internet really hit off there are next to no images online, especially of this scene! Any help appreciated,
Many thanks

Sure I have a souvenir brochure somewhere. I will try & have a look. If you do a google image search for Grease musical 1994 1995 there are lots of photos.
