Those summer nights are just around the corner and so is the arrival of a hit musical in the city. 

Grease is coming to Norwich Theatre Royal from June 3 to 8 on its 2024 UK and Ireland tour. 

The Broadway and West End smash-hit musical debuted in 1971 and it became a global phenomenon after the 1978 film adaptation, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
