Is Grease The Musical coming to Dubai Opera?
We got chills, they're multiplying…
We love a guessing game here at What's On HQ. So when Dubai Opera posted a little video on their official social media account with the words 'An Iconic Musical – Announcing Soon' we had to get in on the guessing action.
Now, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but by the looks of the neon-coloured dancing man and lady, it could only mean one thing: Grease The Musical is coming to Dubai.
Dubai Opera paired the video with a caption: 'Slicked hair, rebel hearts – the soundtrack to your endless summer nights.'
Now, if you have seen the movie, there's one thing the actors/characters went through tubs of… Grease (for their hair, that is)… which ticks the Slicked hair part of that caption. As for 'Rebel Hearts', the very essence of the movie (and musical) is about teenage rebellion.
If you haven't seen Grease before, read on as we will give you a little insight.
Dubai Opera has not stated when they will officially make the reveal, but stay tuned as we are keeping our eyes peeled on their social media and will confirm all the details with you soon.
*Confirmed: BEETLEJUICE The Musical is coming to Abu Dhabi*
*Iconic musical Mamma Mia! is coming to Abu Dhabi in June* So, what is Grease the Musical about?
Grease the Musical follows 'good girl' Sandy and cool but 'bad-boy' greaser Danny. They had a secret romance but broke it off as they didn't live close to each other. This all changes as their paths cross once again.
But Danny needs to keep up his image, and peer-pressure is keeping them apart.
Can Danny still keep Sandy in his life or will it all fall apart?
Expect some cool tunes, and even cooler moves, when (well… if) Grease hits the Dubai Opera stage. It's a popular musical for a reason.

'M*A*S*H' actress Loretta Swit dies at 87
Loretta Swit, the Emmy Award-winning actress who played no-nonsense U.S. Army combat nurse Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the hit TV series "M*A*S*H" for more than a decade, died on Friday at the age of 87. Swit, a mainstay of one of the most successful and acclaimed series in US television history, died at her home in New York City from what was suspected to be natural causes, her publicist, Harlan Boll, said. Swit earned two best supporting actress Emmys and 10 nominations for her role as Hot Lips, the lusty, tough but vulnerable, patriotic Army career nurse in the series that ran from 1972-1983. As the only regular female character in the ground-breaking show set in the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War of the 1950s, Hot Lips endured the insults, pranks and practical jokes of the fun-loving male surgeons. The show's cast also included Alan Alda, Wayne Rogers, McLean Stevenson, Larry Linville, Mike Farrell, Harry Morgan, Gary Burghoff, David Ogden Stiers and Jamie Farr. Swit defined her role by playing a strong, determined, independent woman, who had input into the development and storyline of her character, including her split from her married lover Major Frank Burns, hilariously played by Linville, and her own wedding and divorce. She appeared in nearly all of the more than 250 episodes and the series finale, which was the most watched episode of any TV series in history when the show ended in 1983. The TV series was based on the real-life experiences of an Army surgeon, who penned the 1968 book MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, and on director Robert Altman's 1970 black comedy film of the same name. "While we were shooting, even from the very beginning, we were aware of how very special it was," Swit said about the series in a 2017 interview with Fox News. "The symbiosis, the camaraderie, the love and respect we had for each other."
