New leads for return of popular musical

Grease
The Piccadilly Theatre, first performances 25 July, opening times vary, £15-£55, (0844 412 6666), www.piccadillytheatre.co.uk

The much-loved musical returns to the West End following on from the ITV talent search for the two lead roles of Danny and Sandy.

The victorious duo were Susan McFadden and teenager Danny Bayne, who despite looking uncannily like a young John Travolta, will need to show he can cut the mustard on the big stage.

David Gilmore's production enjoyed a seven-year stint during the 90s and it should be worth booking just to see how good or bad people judged by Sinitta and David Gest can really be.
