One of the most successful musicals of all time is finally returning live to Swiss stages after many years! The exciting new production of the cult musical “Grease”—the original straight from London—catapults fans back to a time of petticoats and leather jackets, fast cars, and hot parties and brings the 1950s to life. Accompanied by unforgettable hits such as “You're the One That I Want,” “We go Together,” “Summer Nights,” and “Sandy,” this colorful musical fun takes you on an exciting journey full of longing, love, fun, and rebellion.
The story of “Grease” is pure dynamite! With teenage excitement amidst fast-paced choreography, pointed dialog, and soulful vocal numbers, accompanied by the furious rock'n'roll and doo-wop sound of the 50s, this love story makes every heart beat faster! The new production in English, with its dazzling costumes, a spectacular stage set, and a magnificent, international ensemble, promises to preserve the magic of the original while bringing a breath of fresh air to the stage.
After its world premiere in Chicago in 1971, “Grease” went on to become one of the most successful musicals of all time with a seven-and-a-half-year run on Broadway in New York and 3,388 sold-out performances. The legendary 1978 film adaptation in which John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sang their way into the hearts of audiences all over the world as the new Hollywood dream couple, turned “Grease” into a cult hit. The film's soundtrack spent 12 weeks at number 1 in the United States, and by February 1998 it had been in the top five of the U.S. pop charts for 244 consecutive weeks and remains an evergreen to this day. “Grease” continues to inspire generations with a mixture of nostalgia and timeless energy even after more than 50 years and will conquer the dance floor again in 2025 with fresh pomade in your hair!
Tickets are CHF 48.80-139.50 for adults and CHF 34.30-98.40 for kids up to age 14.
