Jason Donovan to star as Teen Angel in Grease in the West End

Jason Donovan is to join the cast of Grease in the West End this summer.

The iconic musical will return to London with a new production this year, starting performances at the Dominion Theatre on 3 May 2022 with tickets on sale now.

Grease tells the story of the students at America’s Rydell High School over the course of a year, featuring the classic songs Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’ and We Go Together.

Jason Donovan has been announced to star as Teen Angel for certain performances for six weeks from 29 June

Jason said: “As a lifelong fan of the show, I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of Grease in the role of Teen Angel at the Dominion Theatre for 6 weeks this year. While I may have missed the boat on playing Danny, the Teen Angel seemed like the perfect fit.

“I especially look forward to those few performances I get to perform with Peter Andre as Vince Fontaine. Who would have thought two Aussie’s would take to the West End in such a well-loved musical, singing the most iconic songs? Roll on June”
