Mr Corr added, “We have a cast of almost 40 for this production coming from Portadown, Lurgan, Brownlow and the surrounding districts.

“Grease is a great show to do with teenagers and features classic songs made famous by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John such as ‘You are the One That I Want, Summer Nights, Greased Lightning and Hopelessly Devoted To You.

“Grease has certainly stood the test of time and is as popular today as it was in the 1970s. Grease is a follow on from previous summer shows by MADS! such as ‘Joseph’, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, ’Les MIserables School Edition’ and ‘West Side Story’ which were all resounding successes.

“We have a strong production team consisting of Claire Louise McMahon, John Corry and Caitriona Corr who will return from London to be our vocal coach.“
