Pop Star Noel Sullivan to Play Danny Zuko in London Grease

Singer and actor Noel Sullivan make his West End debut as Danny Zuko in Grease beginning November 30 and continuing through July 2010 at the Piccadilly Theatre. Emma Stephens (Starlight Express, Saturday Night Feber) will play his sweetheart Sandy in the revival, which opened in 2007 after a successful international tour. David Gilmore directed this production, which originally opened in the West End in 1993 and ran for six years.

Noel joins a cast that includes Stuart Ramsay (Kenickie), Natalie Langston (Rizzo), Michael Melmoe (Roger), Laura Wilson (Jan), Benjamin Ibbott (Doody), Faye Brookes (Frenchy), Bennett Andrews (Sonny), Robyn Mellor (Marty), Jamie Tyler (Eugene), Lizzi Franklin (Patty), Jason Capewell (Vince/Teen Angel), Marie Daly (Miss Lynch) and Kristina Macmillan (Cha Cha), with other parts played by the ensemble.

Best known as a member of the pop band Hear’say (formed through the TV talent search Popstars), Sullivan returned to the theater after the group broke up in 2002 and recently headlined a successful tour of Flashdance: The Musical. Other stage credits include Simply Ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, Fame, Love Shack and What a Feeling.
