2025 was the year that Etone pupils united to perform one of the most famous musicals ever!  One high school summer romance, two ‘cool’ gangs, one car, all combined into a stunning performance by Etone pupils!  It was a long week for the cast, crew, and band of Grease starting bright and early in school on Sunday for a day long dress rehearsal, before performing a dress rehearsal to Year 6, followed by three public performances to cheers, applause, and congratulations from our school and local community.

Six months of musical and singing rehearsal, character interpretation, set design and building, prop collation, costume design, dance choreography, scene direction, and line learning came together into a phenomenal production.  We are so proud of the energy, passion, talent, determination, and team spirit which pupils demonstrated embracing core Etone values of being supportive and having self-belief.  combined to create a piece of theatre of which everyone involved can be truly proud.  The cast and crew became a family, and on the final night, emotions ran high. Tears and hugs filled the changing rooms as students realized the impact Grease had on them.

Pupils, parents and teachers are already asking when the next show will be, once again emphasizing the success of Grease and the thirst for more experiences like this. It highlights a lack of similar opportunities in the community and the undeniable impact this production has had on everyone involved.
