Secret Cinema has announced their long-awaited return today, with a new production based on the 1978 film 'Grease'. The show will run at Evolution London in Battersea Park from 1st August until 7th September 2025. It's the company's first London production adapting a film since 2022's Guardians of the Galaxy in Wembley Park.
The two-and-a-half-hour experience will have over 30 performers amidst giant multi-screen platforms in an immersive theatrical setting, and will be directed by Olivier Award-winning actor, Aerialist and Creative Director Matt Costain, whose previous productions for Secret Cinema include Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Dirty Dancing.
Director Matt Costain said:
Secret Cinema returns bigger and better than ever, offering an experience like never before. We’ve always pioneered spectacular immersive worlds that culminated in an epic film screening. Now, 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.
Secret Cinema Producer, Merritt Baer, said in a statement:
I am thrilled that Secret Cinema is returning home to London for the first time since 2022, and what could be more electrifying than spending those summer nights with Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical. The move to Evolution London in Battersea Park marks both Secret Cinema’s most central location yet and the start of a three-year partnership that will see our world-class creative team present an iconic production each summer. Prepare to step back into your favourite movies with a dose of cinematic immersive flair that only Secret Cinema can deliver.
The show is the first in a multi-year deal with Evolution London, which will also host Secret Cinema experiences in the summer of 2026 and 2027.
Secret Cinema last staged an immersive version of Grease in Summer 2023 at Birmingham NEC with Grease: The Live Experience. You can read our review of that show below.
