How to get tickets to Secret Cinema's new Grease live experience in Birmingham
Tell me more! Tell me more! Secret Cinema is taking its visitors back to Rydell High this summer with Grease: The Live Experience. Find out if you were born to hand jive by grabbing a ticket today to this ultimate immersive event.
It’s time to wipe off that angel face and go back to high school, because your favourite summer lovin’ classic is coming to life in 2023 with Grease: The Live Experience.
Brought to you by Secret Cinema, Rydell High is being recreated at the Birmingham NEC for three weeks as part of its series of immersive experiences. From July to August, the outdoor area of the exhibition centre will be transformed into scenes from Grease, featuring live music, dancing and authentic '50s food.
Before the event, visitors will be given a brand new persona from the world of the film, as well as suggestions on how to dress up. Then, you’ll be ready to duet and dance to your heart’s content, all before enjoying a screening of the film on a blanket under the stars.
It’s the perfect gift for all the T-Birds and Pink Ladies out there, but even if you’re not hopelessly devoted to Grease, there’s plenty to be got from this event.
Secret Cinema started its events in abandoned London warehouses over 15 years ago, and after 50 productions, they have the immersive experience down to a fine art. Their back catalogue includes Bridgerton, Guardians of the Galaxy and Moulin Rouge, and the company prides itself on the amount of detail and story it brings to the shows.

Often, it works with film studios to help create pieces of set and have a cast of actors to make the worlds feel as real as possible. With some of the more dramatic productions, the experiences have included missions and secrets – and no two nights are ever the same.
Well worth it for any movie buff, let alone a Grease-obsessed one, don't put our good advice to shame and grab yourself a spot at the immersive event of the summer as tickets go on sale now.

What is Secret Cinema's new Grease: The Live Experience?
Grease: The Live Experience is a completely immersive day out created by Secret Cinema, whose mission it is to help you "step into the iconic world from your favourite film".
Once you purchase your ticket, you’ll be given a whole new persona complete with a unique identity, backstory and costume suggestions – dressing up is by no means compulsory but very encouraged.
You’ll then arrive at the space, which will be completely transformed into the famous You’re the One that I Want fairground from the end of the movie. It includes live music from a Doo Wop group, a Rydell High-style dance competition, and '50s diner food.
After taking in all this magnificent detail, in the evening you’ll get to relax on the grass and watch the film in full, so make sure you remember to bring a picnic blanket!
