Ahead of Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical opening at Battersea’s Evolution, London on 1st August 2025, double Tony Award-nominated choreographer Jennifer Weber has been in the UK workshopping the all-important movement of the show, blending iconic steps with hip-hop and a fresh flair for Secret Cinema’s newest production, which is presented in partnership with TodayTix.
Jennifer received both ‘Best Choreography’ Tony Award nominations in the 2022-2023 Broadway season for her work on & Juliet and KPOP, both of which opened within a week of each other. With Jennifer's roots in hip-hop, the choreography for Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical blends the iconic with the contemporary.
Each performance of Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical will be a two-and-a-half-hour spectacular which blurs the line between screen and reality, and for the very first time, the entire film is brought to life all around you with actors and immersive elements seamlessly blending with the on-screen action.
Step into the ultimate director’s cut and live at the very heart of Grease as screens play the fan-favourite film whilst a 30-strong cast and live band bring to life all of the songs from the film’s hit soundtrack including ‘You’re The One That I Want’, ‘Beauty School Dropout’, ‘Greased Lightnin’, ‘Look At Me I’m Sandra Dee’, ‘Summer Nights’, and ‘We Go Together,’ fusing the film and its iconic moments with a modern live-action experience.
From the moment you enter Rydell High, you are invited to join all the action – follow your favourite characters, cheer on the T-Birds, share secrets with the Pink Ladies, learn to hand jive, join choir practice, get a taste of 1950s American diner-inspired delights and visit the fun fair as dazzling live performances and sensational dance numbers enthrall ahead of the sensational collective finale. The production will also feature iconic locations from Grease, including Frosty’s Palace, The Beauty School, The Carnival, The Gym, The Autoshop and La Cafury Beauty School.
