Calling all you dishy Demi-Gods, you’re the ones that we want!
Welcome to Olympus Academy, a high-school where lessons are lustful, lube is essential, and grease is the dirtiest word. Term is about to begin, and this year graduating with the Gods won’t be the only climax.
The Alphas and Omegas are the studs of Olympus, but they’re going to need your help (and possibly a towel). After a fateful summer night, Zeus and Hera are destined to become star-crossed lovers – but when the Fates decide to make things rough, Hera will be forced to choose between Zeus’s thunderbolt and her own explosive desire.
As the Gods writhe and the nymphs jive; we invite you to rev your chariot and lose yourself to the swinging tunes of Ancient Grease. It’s time to disobey The Fates and show them that integrity is the new sexy.
Packed with intoxicating songs, divine dance numbers, and a cast of celestial beings who burn brighter (and dirtier) than ever before. These Gods are behaving badly and they’re here to bring you the greasiest new musical in town.
Drop your togas at the door because, in Ancient Grease, the thunder always comes twice.
Following the five-star sellout success of numerous shows (Mulan Rouge, Stranger Sings, The Witches of Oz, Peter Pan’s Labyrinth, Dinner is Coming and many more), The Vaults have commissioned an original script and score packed with songs, seduction, and smut. Ancient Grease comes to the thriving heart of London, deep in The Vaults’ infamous tunnels – the perfect home for a filthy frolic up Mount Olympus.
Ancient Grease is a dirty love-letter to the hit movie musical Grease, re-imagining the iconic characters and setting them amongst the Gods of Mount Olympus. The wine will flow, fate will be re-written, and Grease gets the ending it always deserved.
The Vaults say “It’s time to lift the bonnet of Grease for a total overhaul… This summer, the response to Secret Cinema’s Grease was huge, but it came with the same outdated story of becoming someone else in the desire for acceptance. As Grease grows older, the love for it grows stronger, so we decided to reimagine the narrative and bring a new message: put your leather catsuit away. Don’t change for anyone.”
Ancient Grease, is an original script and score by Lady Aria Grey. This new musical is directed by Daniel Wye and stars Christopher Patten Walker (Ares / Lachesis), Grace Kelly Miller (Atropos), Lara Beth Sas (Clotho), Lucy Penrose (Aphrodite), Ollie Thomas Smith (Hephaestus / Hades), Peter Camilleri (Zeus), Philippa Leadbetter (Hera), and Safia Bartley (Athena / Persephone).
The Vaults, Launcelot Street, Waterloo, London SE1 7AD from 4th March – 30th May.
