Deloris believes that Curtis is going to introduce her to a big producer, but is upset when he tells her she is not ready. Hurt and rejected, Deloris decides to break up with him, but when she goes to find him she accidentally sees him kill one of his cronies. Deloris runs to the police, who place her in hiding at a convent until Curtis is brought to trial. At first, Deloris feels as though it will be the worst thing in the world, chafing against the constraints of convent life and an immovable Reverend Mother, but once she is introduced to the struggling choir at the convent, everything changes. She finds that many of the nuns at the convent are not that different from her, and that they are quite fun to be around. They help give her a bigger purpose in her life, showing her a genuine love and affection that was missing prior to her arrival at the convent. Sister Act is a joyous show that uses music to bring different communities, and lifestyles, together. |

GreaseShow: Grease
Venue: Lyceum Theatre, Crewe, Cheshire Dates: 24th March – 28th March 2015 Producer: Gail Montague Director: Joel Montague Choreographer: Joel Montague Musical Director: Malcolm Forbes-Peckham Production Manager: Carl Knapper Cast: Danny Zucko – Jacob Taylor Sany Dumbrowski – Beth Kerrigan Kenickie – Ryan Bearpark Rizzo – Shannon Webb Doody – Sean Clark-Wilkinson Frenchy – Rhianne Stubbs Roger – Matthew O’Donnell Jan – Lianne Lewis Sonny – Sam Retford Marty – Heather Taylor Eugene – Dom Roberts Patty – Helen Edmonstone Ms Lynch – Susan Dodd Vince Fontaine – Micheal Bate Johnny Casino – Ben Stubbs Cha Cha – Georgia Sproston Teen Angel – Sean Hargreaves Synopsis: It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance, through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "We Go Together”, and “Mooning”, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Starting off with an eight-year Broadway run, Grease is among the world’s most popular musicals and has a cult-like following, especially among teens! |
