Hilarious tribute-parody-celebration musical Cool Rider is coming back to London, playing the London Palladium for one night only.

Unofficially based on famously so-bad-it’s-good Grease movie sequel Grease 2 starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield, this show is heading back to London in another concert version of the show.

Billed as the greatest sequel ever told, Cool Rider includes hit songs Back to School, Score Tonight, Cool Rider, Who’s That Guy?, Reproduction, Do It For Our Country, Girl For All Seasons, We’ll Be Together and many more.

Cool Rider tells the story of two unlikely High School lovers on their road to romance, from bowling alleys to burger joints, from sing-a-long-a-sex education classes to talent shows.

Cool Rider will play the London Palladium for one night only, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the show, with Aaron Sidwell (Wicked, EastEnders) as Michael Carrington, and Ashleigh Gray (Only Fools and Horses The Musical) as Stephanie Zinone, reprising their acclaimed roles.

Also in the cast are RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott-Claus (Death Drop) as The French One, and a guest appearance from Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, Chicago), the movie’s original Michael Carrington.

The cast also includes Tom Senior (Disneys Beauty and the Beast) as Johnny, Hannah Levane (We Will Rock You) as Paulette, Jacob Fowler (Heathers) as Louis, Courtney Bowman (Legally Blonde, SIX) as Sharon, Kyle Cox (Aint Too Proud, Crazy For You) as Goose, Harry Francis (Mary Poppins, Cats) as Davey and Lucinda Lawrence (9 to 5, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Rhonda.

This show will have you singing and dancing in your seats!

Cool Rider is playing on Sunday 14 April 2024 at the London Palladium.
