Strictly Come Dancing star Arlene Phillips's Grease announces UK tour dates
Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips is bringing a new version of Grease to UK stages.
Acclaimed dancer Arlene is choreographing the 2024 national tour of the iconic musical, which was adapted into a timeless film in 1978 starring John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John. Arlene has also choreographed the West End version of Grease.
While the cast will be announced closer to the launch date, Arlene is collaborating with An Officer and a Gentleman and Sunset Boulevard director Nikolai Foster on an adaption of the original music and lyrics.
