We’re bringing Grease to the Screen and to the Stage!

Join us for a screening of the classic musical romantic comedy Grease, followed by live music from Sheffield's very own rock n roll band "Highway Child". A Rock n Roll Cine-Show! Are you a Pink Lady or a T-Bird? Either way, we invite you to join us dressed the part with your Pink or Leather Jackets on and looking the 50’s part. This is a fancy dress very welcome evening!

The first half of the night will be the screening of the legendary film Grease:

It's 1958, summer is over and the hormonally-charged seniors of Rydell High are reluctantly returning to school, ready to fall back in with old friends and trade stories of the previous months' conquests. Danny Zuko, leader of a local greaser gang called the T-Birds, brags to his crew about nights of passion spent on the beach with a mystery girl. Elsewhere, sweet Sandy Olsson - the new girl in town - is taken under the wing of the no-nonsense Pink Ladies and shares fond memories of a brief romance with an unknown sweetheart.

When it turns out that Danny and Sandy's mismatched tales are about each other, Sandy is humiliated and Danny has to win her back. To do so, he'll have to negotiate all of the romantic rites of passage a teenager in America's golden age could imagine: jiving school dances, awkward drive-in movies, deadly drag-races and the looming threat of graduation.

The second half of the night will be a live performance by Highway Child:

You don’t need to move from your chair unless you want to get a drink or dance! When the film has finished we will transform the stage in front of the screen and prepare for the Highway Child show.

Following hit screenings of The Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction and Dirty Dancing, Sheffield Soul Funk band Highway Child are back at Showroom for a live performance. Playing Rock n Roll songs from the 50’s/60’s, their Classic Soul repertoire and some special one night only songs from the film itself, Highway Child will keep the spirit and sound of Grease going throughout the show! There might also be a dance competition too.

This will be an event not to be missed!
