AS THE rain set in this week and summer days seemed to be drifting away, Grease The Musical was the perfect pick-me-up.
This whirlwind of a show at the Mayflower, Southampton, was full of energy from the minute the curtain went up.
In the lead roles were Tom Parker from The Wanted and Danielle Hope (winner of BBC’s Over the Rainbow contest), near-perfect replicas of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
The excellent supporting cast included Louisa Lytton as the sassy Rizzo but the real star of the show was Jimmy Osmond as Teen Angel.
Greased Lightnin’ hits the Mayflower stage 12 more times from today (Friday) to Saturday, July 8.
