Grease returns to the theatre
The South Africa Film, Acting and Theatre Academy (Safata) brings the whirlwind story of Grease to the Theatre On The Square from August 31 to September 3.
We’ve got chills! Grittier and more electrifying than before, the world’s most loved musical Grease is coming to the Theatre On The Square.
The South Africa Film, Acting and Theatre Academy (Safata) is bringing the whirlwind story of Danny and the girl-next-door Sandy to one of Sandton’s oldest theatres from August 31 to September 3.
“Safata is so excited to stage this mega-hit classical musical this year for our students’ annual musical. We always aim to provide our students with real-life opportunities and experiences whilst they study as experience is key and equally important,” said producer and Safata CEO Nicho Barnard.
Bursting with hits such as Summer Nights, Greased Lightning, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want.
The lead cast members include Reinier van Zyl as the T-Birds pack leader Danny Zuko, Simoné de Jager as the sweet and conservative Sandy Dumbrowski, Chloé Cage as the feisty Betty Rizzo and Lehlohonolo Gumede as bad boy and T-Birds second in command Kenickie.
This thrilling new production is directed by Safata’s dean, Anastasia Vorisek, with musical director Amber-Dawn Burnhams, and choreographed by Zelne Anderson.
“I think it’s amazing for our students to take on such an amazing but big production under the leadership of our amazing dean and mentors, especially after the theatres suffered so dearly due to Covid-19,” said Barnard.
