Ancient Grease

This is an undeniably boldly followed through piece of wordplay: Ancient Grease is a new musical parody that remakes beloved musical Grease as a queer comedy set amongth the gods of Mount Olympus. To be honest it’s a set up that raises more questions than it answers: does the show – written by Lady Aria Grey and directed by Dan Wye – use any of the original songs? If not, does the plot of an ironic retro-’50s musical really mesh with the antics of the Pantheon? The bottom line is that the adult-only show sounds like a good laugh, although it’s hard to imagine it not being on the trashier end of the spectrum.
