Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical returns this summer starring Ricky Wilson

The Kaiser Chiefs singer will take on the role of Teen Angel in Secret Cinema’s acclaimed production of Grease

Secret Cinema has announced that Ricky Wilson, lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs, will be taking on the role of Teen Angel in the critically acclaimed Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical across

selected performances. He will be joining the previously announced Stephanie Costi and Lucy Penrose who are returning as Sandy and Rizzo respectively, reprising their roles from last year. They are also joined by Giórgios Michaelídes as Danny and Archangelo Ciulla as Kenickie. Full casting will be announced in due course.

Following a sold-out run in 2025, Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical returns to London this summer. The production opens at Evolution London in Battersea Park for a strictly limited run from 22 July to 13 September, welcoming audiences back into the world of Rydell High. The songs from the beloved Paramount film are brought to life against knock-out movie screens, with the talented cast performing hits like ‘Beauty School

Dropout’, ‘Summer Nights’, ‘Greased Lightnin’’ and ‘We Go Together’.

Wilson said: “At school I was in Grease and I feel I have to redeem myself. I was not yet the international pop sensation I am today and I only really wanted to do it cos I fancied the girl who played Frenchie (I was Doody) so this is my chance to show everyone I should have got a bigger part. I don’t believe anyone from that production is now a professional singer, so in short, I win.”

Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical offers an immersive experience like no other. Fans can explore iconic locations including Frosty Palace, The Autoshop, and The Carnival, and immerse themselves in school spirit by training with Coach Calhoun, cheering on the T-Birds, taking part in a choir practice and even tasting 1950s American diner-style treats.

The innovative production is brought to life by the multi-award-winning creative team of director Matthew Costain, set designer Tom Rogers, choreographer Jennifer Weber, light designer Howard Hudson, sound designer Gareth Fry and video designer Ian William Galloway.

Due to popular demand, summer 2026 will feature even more themed Roam and Return seating, allowing audiences to explore the experience and return to dedicated seating at Frosty Diner or The

Drive-In.
