Secret Cinema's Grease — The Immersive Experience Review

By Jude

You're the one that I want, oh-oh-oh, honey! Secret Cinema's Grease: The Immersive Experience is now officially open at Battersea Evolution, and we were invited to the very first day of school at Rydell High. Known for their mastery of immersive events, Secret Cinema once again delivers a production that blurs the line between audience and participant.

Guests are sorted into cliques, given costumes and character cards, and plunged into the world of Rydell High School with actors weaving through the crowd at every turn. The transformation of Battersea Evolution is genuinely impressive — a gym, a diner, a drive-in and Rydell's corridors all coexist in one sprawling space.

The film screening itself is immaculate, and the live performances woven around it are pitch-perfect. Secret Cinema has done it again.
