Qlocal was invited to the opening night of the hit musical Grease at the Liverpool Empire.

The show got off to a strong start with ex-The Wanted member Tom Parker as Danny and co-star Danielle Hope as Sandy, giving a fabulous rendition of “Summer Nights” whilst the rest of the all-singing, all-dancing cast performed flawlessly around them.

Screen and Stage veteran, Darren Day lavished the limelight a bit too much with his role as Teen Angel.

Grease was fun, nostalgic and full of cheese. Throughout the show, the crowd were laughing, singing and even crying.

When the cast performed their final medley, embarrassed teenagers around the Empire Theatre were trying and failing to hold down their euphoric parents who couldn’t help but break into song. If not for the slightly confused message and at-times cringe-worthy Teen Angel.


The show runs until Saturday.
