Producer Ben Freedman, who previously brought Sing-a-long-a Sound Of Music and Sing-a-long-a Abba, said: "Sing-a-long-a Grease is the show that audiences have been asking for since we first presented a sing-a-long show back in 1999.

"Sing-a-long-a Grease is much more than just a film, it's an event, an interactive experience and the most fun you can have."

Every performance starts with a Sing-a-long-a host who warms up the audience, trains them how to hand-jive and deploy the contents of their free goodie bags.

The 1972 show, about two lovers in a 1950s US high school, was based on an earlier, grittier play called Grease Lightning, which was first staged in Chicago the previous year.

In 1978 it spawned into a movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The movie was a huge hit on its first release.

Twenty-five years later it was voted the greatest musical ever in a 2003 poll conducted for Channel 4's show on the 100 Greatest Musicals.

The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets are £16. To buy tickets, drop in to the Grimsby box office or call 0844 8713016 or visit www.atgtick ets.com/grimsbyauditorium.co.uk
