Time Out says

★★★★ 'Ancient Grease is a right laugh. It’s got a lot of heart, and the whole experience had a brilliant inclusive atmosphere. At this show you’re guaranteed to have a top silly night out – just leave the grandparents at home' – Time Out

The Vaults are back doing what they do best. Taking a pop culture classic and gleefully wrecking it. 'Ancient Grease' hurls the leather-jacketed romance of Grease straight into 'Ancient Greece', swapping Sandy and Danny for Zeus and Hera, and things only get messier from there. Expect outrageous choreography, scandalously catchy numbers and a cast of badly behaved gods who know exactly how to work a joke. It’s loud, silly and deliciously rude. With 30% off tickets, this is divine comedy at a very mortal price.
