Redlands Grease
Peel Out!
School production of Grease streamed only for 3 nights in 2021. After being postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, most of the cast was back (with some new additions) and expecting to perform at the Chatswood Concourse, but due to lockdown restrictions, this was not viable. Ultimately, the crew turned to film to bring the show to life! Redlands presents Grease The Musical! Since its electric Broadway and West End debut in the early 1970s, GREASE has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals. Funny, frank and featuring the hit songs “Greased Lightnin’,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re The One That I Want,” and “Summer Nights,” GREASE follows the journey of Danny and Sandy, alongside the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies, as they navigate high school to the unforgettable rock n’ roll soundtrack that defined generations. With 7 Tony Award nominations, don’t miss one of the most popular musicals of all time!

Perfection. Callum McLean provided a Masterclass in acting and singing. Also he danced. Ashley Manovel’s performance was especially notable, he brought an amazing energy to the role which really made him stand out. Omar Rihani somehow managed to slip so many improvised lines in and it had me dying every single time. The sound crew were phenomenal! So professional and supportive. Redlands is a hotbed of talent. But hands down, the best performance was Alex Gibbs as Eugene’s Shoulder. He brought a fresh new take full of tenderness and a vulnerability to the now almost stereotypical cold shoulder so often depicted in popular media. It was subtle but deeply emotional and had an almost erotic subtext. There was a dark past to the performance, you could tell they had a few chips on their shoulder (likely due to hanging out at the burger palace too often, as seen in the show, it is a dark and dangerous hotspot for gang wars, girl on girl punch ups and spontaneous Angel appearances), a shame and guilt that was really brought to the surface through Alex Gibbs’ amazing physicalisation. Ultimately, I was moved to tears by the hesitant, afraid and uncertain but still deeply passionate shoulder to shoulder action depicted on film. I didn’t just see a shoulder on the silver screen I saw a piece of my shoulder, and I’m sure you will find a piece of your shoulder too. > I’m so proud to be a part of this and I’ll never forget the experience.
