00:00My name is Darcy Brown and I'm playing Sandy.
00:07My name is Felix Noden and I'm playing Danny Zuka.
00:14So Grease is about Vidal High School but more importantly two students, Sandy and Danny,
00:20who meet on holiday and they fall in love quickly.
00:24And then obviously holiday went over and they both had to go back to school.
00:28Turns out they actually go back to the same school but neither of them know.
00:32They meet each other. Sandy's the same girl but Danny's changed.
00:36Danny is the heartthrob of Vidal High. All the girls want him.
00:40All the lads think he's cool and he's got quite a big ego.
00:44He thinks he can kind of get away with what he wants and get whichever girl he wants,
00:48which it is kind of true.
00:50Grease follows the story of Sandy and Danny's relationship
00:54but also the friendships of the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies.
00:58Sandy starts off as a very naive and innocent character
01:03and throughout the show she progresses and by the end she's this strong, bold, confident character.
01:09All the iconic songs are in it. Obviously it's an iconic film and it's very well known
01:15and so it's suitable for little kids, for family and yeah, it's just so good.
01:20My favourite part is probably Grease Lightning because it's one of the most iconic songs.
01:26You know, it's all the lads just having a great time around the car
01:30and it's just a really fun number to do.
01:33Oh, there's so many amazing songs. I love Summer Nights, Grease is the Word
01:38and I do love Hope's Lead Vote as well.
01:41The level of effort that goes into these shows is like, it's phenomenal.
01:46The set, the costume, the ensemble, the directing, the choreographing, the music,
01:51there's so much that goes into these shows and it always really pays off at the end.
01:56Basics is an incredibly, incredibly talented place, full of talented performers, got incredible staff.
02:02Many students that have come here have actually gone on to huge drama schools,
02:07some have gone on to the West End, so it really shows you the incredible training that you get here at Basics.
02:13It's genuinely like a West End standard show and it's so funny and uplifting, so you should definitely buy a ticket.
02:20It's fun for the entire family, it's a great show to come and watch
02:26and everyone will leave with an incredibly, incredibly big smile on their face.
02:31Grease is the Word.
02:43Basics is the Word.
