When I left Madrid last week I left Teesh to spend her last week in Europe, in Paris. Today she got back in to town and of course, to make the most of her time in London, I made sure to whip us off to another musical. This time – one we were both very familiar with – Grease! I think Teesh especially likes the show because she feels she can relate particularly to the tough chick Rizzo (she absolutely loves that whole bad boy thing.) For my part tonight’s performance made me feel quite nostalgic – remembering back more than fifteen years ago to the school production that I’d been part of.

Grease is a very enjoyable night out. It proved to be as cheesy as I have always remembered to be but in a very endearing way. It had its great moments but surprisingly some less stellar moments but overall a strong performance from the cast, a very colourful set and a very good band.

I must say, however, that Ray Quinn absolutely stole the show for me. The rest of the cast were superb and gave 150% but Ray Quinn was simply fab. He had his John Travolta character down pat – mannerisms, voice and all. And can I also say that he certainly fills a pair of jeans very nicely. Mmm … very very nicely. 🙂
