Secret Cinema announces ‘Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical’
Secret Cinema has announced its summer 2025 production, an experience centred around the 1978 musical Grease.
Created in 2007, Secret Cinema puts on immersive and surprise screenings of films that include interactive elements and performances from live actors. Previous successful events include screening Back To The Future in a replica of the film’s Hill Valley set, and a recreation of the Starcourt Mall from Stranger Things.
A press release for the forthcoming event read: “Secret Cinema is delighted to announce its return to London with a brand-new production for 2025 presented with TodayTix. GREASE: The Immersive Movie Musical will play in Battersea Park from Friday 1 August – Sunday 7 September 2025 at Evolution London”.
It continued: “Secret Cinema’s new two-and-a-half-hour production brings the beloved classic Paramount Pictures film to life, featuring a cast of 30 performing amidst giant multi-screen platforms. Every corner of the venue will transform into an immersive and unforgettable cinematic theatrical experience”.
In the release, the production’s director Matt Costain said: “in this new production of Grease, you’ll live the film from start to finish, fully absorbed in its heart. With the movie playing all around you and performances at every turn, you’ll really become part of the action”.
It’s the first of three consecutive summer events from the company, and “Future productions based on other iconic titles for 2026 & 2027 will be announced later in the year” according to the organisers.
Secret Cinema hosted a differently themed take on the movie with 2023’s Secret Cinema Presents Grease: The Live Experience, which was hosted in Birmingham. The film has remained a classic beloved by several generations, with sequel Grease 2 released in 1982 and a prequel series, Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies, airing in 2023.
