He will join Emma Stephens, who plays his love interest Sandy. Before ‘Grease’, Emma was in ‘Starlight Express’ and ‘Saturday Night Fever’.

The current run of ‘Grease’ opened on the 8th August 2007 and looks set for a third successful year. It first opened in the West End on the 15th of July 1993 at the Dominion Theatre.
