For the first time in front of a public audience, the Grease vs Rocky Horror Ultimate Musical Mashup will be performing at the Airlie Beach Hotel.
Expect well-known hits, audience participation at every turn, and a whole heap of fun!
The show's co-creator Anita Spring has been a regular performer at the Airlie Beach Hotel for the last six years, but this time she is thrilled to perform a brand-new show. The Grease vs Rocky Horror has only had one private function performance before and this show at Airlie Beach Hotel will blow the roof off.
Be taken on a journey from Rydell High to the Frankenstein Place as this show lets Sandy, Danny, Rizzo, and the Pink Ladies face off against Dr Frank-N-Furter, Magenta, Columbia, and all the wonderfully weird residents of Transylvania.
It's a nostalgic journey through iconic hits. You'll know the songs by heart, Summer Nights, Grease Lightnin’, You’re The One That I Want, and the performers will have you hand jiving like it's 1959! Then just when you think it's safe to put your comb down, it's time to put those hands on your hips for the Time Warp, The Sweet Transvestite and a Science Fiction double feature to bring the house down.
This isn't just a Grease versus Rocky Horror tribute, it's a love letter to two films that changed everything and Anita is encouraging everyone to come along to the show dressed up and ready to dance.
“Come dressed as your favourite character, whether you're channelling Frenchie, Kenickie or the time-travelling riffraff,” Anita said.
“We'll be giving away prizes for the best costumes and encouraging audience participation at every turn.
“There will be pelvic thrusts, finger snaps, and maybe even a sing off or two!”
If you grew up with Grease and snuck into your first midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in your teens, this night will feel like coming home. And if you are new to the madness, you're in for the most fabulous musical baptism ever.
Expect a room full of smiles, songs and standing ovations as the Grease vs Rocky Horror Ultimate Musical Mashup is only performing on Saturday. Be there, you don’t want to miss it.
The show's co-creator Anita is also performing her own Olivia Newton-John tribute ‘Forever Olivia’ on Sunday. This tribute is especially special to Anita as she has performed it for many years and idolises Olivia as an artist.
The Sunday show features a full set of beloved hits spanning Olivia’s career. Expect classics like Let Me Be There, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), Have You Never Been Mellow, Magic, Xanadu, and Suddenly. Fans will also enjoy upbeat favourites from her Totally Hot album including A Little More Love, and the rare gem Twist of Fate from Two of a Kind.
A few Grease numbers will also be sprinkled in to honour her breakout film role. With a world-class band and a passion-filled performance, this is a must-see for Olivia fans and music lovers.
