Grease, The Arena Experience is touring Australia for only three days to electrify audiences and reignite their love for the classic storyline.
With a cast of stars, such as X-Factor winner Isaiah as Jonny Casino, Footy Show favourite Beau Ryan, Meghan O’Shea as Sandy and Damon Wade as Danny, Grease, The Arena Experience has been recreated on a massive scale. Meghan O’Shea said,
“Grease, The Arena Experience is one big party from start to finish. We are touring through arenas and we have the luxury of being able to have between 500–700 young people in the ensemble of the show. Our company went and auditioned for the best young talented people in each city and it’s quite visually spectacular having that many people on stage telling a story.”
Staying faithful to the original storyline, audiences can expect to hear their favourite songs from the film and are encouraged to get involved by singing and dancing along.
“It’s the story that everybody knows and loves and it’s what people are familiar with from the movie version, but we’ve also brought some aspects of the show into a more contemporary setting so I think there’s a little bit of something in there for everyone. My favourite part of the show is looking out and seeing the shared joy on people’s faces and you can see people dancing and singing along.”
O’Shea is excited to be playing Sandy in the musical, “I think a lot of people really identify with the character, I know I do, mostly because I think that everyone has faced the challenges of navigating the transition through high school and young love. I think people watch it and really identify with the journey of the characters and in terms of playing Sandy, that’s something that I really connected with.”
