More than 50 years have passed since Grease first took the world by storm. The legendary 1978 film, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, has been loved by generation after generation and become an integral part of pop culture history.
Today, the story of Sandy, Danny and the teenagers at Rydell High is one of musical theatre’s biggest phenomena – from Broadway to the West End and onto stages around the world.
In autumn 2026, Grease The Musical takes over Rondo in Gothenburg!
This is instantly recognisable Grease – but with fresh energy, more edge and a pulse that runs right through the auditorium.
The film’s success made Grease immortal and an essential part of growing up for several generations.
A timeless love story told through some of the most iconic songs in music history.
The songs are performed in English, with dialogue in Swedish, and audiences can experience timeless hits such as Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want – songs everyone knows, loves and wants to sing along to.
On stage, a compelling cast brings distinctive characters to life with sharp humour, pace and precision.
Sandy and Danny are played by Lovisa Bengtsson and Anton Ewald – two young people trying to find themselves, each other and their place among their peers.
A story of love, identity, friendship and the courage to be yourself – just as relevant today as when Grease first appeared.
Also appearing are Boris René, Pia Ternström, Vanja Engström, Arantxa Álvarez, Anna Mannheimer, Nils Reinholtz and Emil Henrohn, alongside a large ensemble and live orchestra.
Klas Wiljergård directs and provides the Swedish dialogue, with choreography by Jennie Widegren & Felicia Loveflo and musical direction by Nils-Petter Ankarblom.
This production is an updated interpretation – faster, slicker and more visual – with full respect for the original.
The result is a musical that brings nostalgia and the present together, delivering spectacular entertainment.
Grease The Musical is the ultimate feel-good experience – perfect for an evening with friends, a date, colleagues or family.
A show for all generations that leaves audiences euphoric.
This is Grease The Musical.
Just as you remember it.
Only even better.
The original script was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
