Article: Brisbane, You Better Shape Up! - Crossroads Live

Producers of the all-new and electrifying production of GREASE are delighted to announce that tickets to the beloved musical, opening at QPAC in January, will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday 3 May.

“Heeelllooooo Brisvegas!!! Brisbane in summer is the hottest place to be and I guarantee GREASE will be the hottest ticket in town this summer! This is an all new and electrifying production with all the original songs you know and love and I can’t wait to see you all there for some Summer Lovin’,” said GREASE’s Marcia Hines.

Audiences are loving the brand-new production of GREASE, which opened on New Year's Eve in Melbourne, with critics calling it “close to perfection” (Broadway World) and a “bucket list production that should not be missed” (Theatre Matters).  The hit musical is currently playing at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre before it opens in Perth from 30 June and Adelaide from September.

GREASE features an all-new set, dazzling costumes and all those unforgettable songs from the movie, including Summer Nights, Sandy, Hopelessly Devoted to You, You’re The One That I Want, Greased Lightnin’, and Grease is the Word.

Since the show’s Broadway premiere and the hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John – which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time – the Tony Award nominated GREASE has triumphed across the globe, with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.

We are almost used to seeing the spark fizzle, to see conversations die away - but this co production between Queensland Theatre and Sydney Theatre Compan of Cost of Living has turned the spark into full flame. Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living asks us what is the bottom line of love, and whether love is truly something that transcends boundaries, whether they be physical or emotional? The work itself is sharp, witty, and evocative - it uses dialogue and conversation in real time to ask these hard-hitting questions about love and our ability to love, without preaching to the choir. The story itself follows a crossroad of characters: John, a PhD student with cerebral palsy, and his new young carer, Jess, and Eddie, an older trucker who is caring for his ...
