Inspirational ideas for group days out and holidays

Skating legend Robin Cousins will bring some added sparkle to Grease when he swaps the ice rink for the stage to guest star as ‘Teen Angel’ in the smash hit musical, for four weeks only in Birmingham over the festive season.

The former Olympic champion and Dancing on Ice judge will leave audiences ‘hopelessly devoted’ to his charms when Grease rocks into the New Alexandra Theatre from 6 to 31 December 2011.

Following its four year London run and for the first time in over five years, the hit West End show Grease began a new tour this spring. Back by popular demand, Grease premiered at the Edinburgh Playhouse on 6 May 2011 and continues to rock ’n’ roll around the UK and Ireland this year and into 2012.

Danny Bayne stars as ‘Danny’ with Carina Gillespie as his sweetheart ‘Sandy’, as the couple follow in the footsteps of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John who famously played the roles in the hit 1978 movie.

The cast also includes: Ricky Rojas (‘Kenickie’), Kate Somerset How (‘Rizzo’), Derek Andrews (‘Roger’), Laura Wilson (‘Jan’), Richard Vincent (‘Doody’), Lauren Stroud (‘Frenchy’), Josh Dever (‘Sonny’), Lois Urwin (‘Marty’), Darren John (‘Eugene’), Sammy Kelly (‘Patty’), Nancy Hill ‘(Miss Lynch’) and Sophie Zucchini (‘Cha Cha’), with other parts played by the ensemble.

Talking about his role in Grease, Robin said: “After being part of Grease in the West End last year, I am very excited to be part of this new, young and energetic cast to once again play ‘Teen Angel’ in this fun and vibrant show.”
