The world’s most beloved high school musical is lighting up the stage at Dubai Opera this autumn. From 24 October to 2 November 2025, Grease The Musical (with music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey) bursts into town for an unmissable run filled with energy, nostalgia, and pure rock ‘n’ roll magic.
Presented by Dubai Opera, in collaboration with MAC Global and People Entertainment Group, this thrilling West End production reimagines the timeless story of Sandy and Danny, made iconic by the film starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, with dazzling flair and contemporary energy.
Directed by Nigel West and choreographed by Matt Wesley, the production remains true to the heart of the original while bringing fresh vitality and stagecraft to the songs audiences know and love. Expect all the unforgettable hits: from “Summer Nights” and “Greased Lightnin’” to “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “You’re the One That I Want”, performed by a world-class cast whose vocals, choreography, and charisma will have you singing along and dancing in your seat.
Set in the colorful world of Rydell High, the show is a joyful whirlwind of romance, rebellion, and rhythm. With slicked-back hair, poodle skirts, and jukebox energy, Grease The Musical captures the spirit of the 1950s while speaking to the timeless themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery.
