Grease Is The Word 

Monday 3rd June, 2002 

On Monday 3rd of June, 2002, Grease opened at the Hippodrome.  To make the event special, Elmgrove LeRoc were contacted to give the launch of this rock and roll musical a fabulous start - and what better way than to go down there in person, and LeRoc outside the Hippodrome while the crowds waited eagerly for the show to begin...

Here are some photos from the fun we had that evening.  We had the added bonus that all who turned up got free tickets to shows of their choice as well, so it was completely a win-win situation!

Time to get started.  At the Hippodrome, with cars whizzing by, and (probably) pedestrians whizzing by even faster, knowing the centre of Bristol.  Oh well, a good place to dance, with a good crowd to watch us.
David and Liz, warming up the crowd.  Is it me or does David look a bit like a T-Bird, and Liz look a bit like a Pink Lady?  Hmmm.
Diana and Tom, strutting their funky stuff.  They also seem to have dressed "in fashion" for the event, bobby socks and all!
Oh yes, you can feel the concentration now, moving up to take pole position these dancers are strutting it in the finest of fashions.
A lot of the crowd (all generations!) thought that this was all the best stuff since sliced bread, and joined in in their own way.  These three ladies were dancing, singing, clapping, and generally having an absolute scream during the show.
Graham's getting down and showing the crowd just how it should be done.  Oh yes.
Graham Weeks and Jennie were putting on a fine bit of dancing here, looking the part too! Congrats to Jennie and Graham for their competition wins this year.
Yep, those girls are still at it!  Let me see you hand jive...
John's giving it some.  Quite a lot actually.  Is that legal in public?  Looks far too much like hard work to me that one!  Mind you, judging by the look on his face he's enjoying something...  That's bordering on a caption competition, I think! :)
Liz and Graham are discussing something here, and by the hand gestures it's the size of something.  So how come Graham's "thing" is bigger than the one Liz is thinking of?  Another possible caption competition, definitely!
Nic and Lin are having a whale of a time, and are definitely wrapped up in the dancing here.  Enjoying yourselves like these two are is totally what LeRoc's all about.  Very nice to see indeed.  
Phew, time for the show to start.  Ladies and gentlemen, please make your way to your seats... Well, we've warmed the crowd up to a frenzy, and now the next show begins.  We've done our bit, earned our pay, and are just about to collapse in a hot sweaty heap on the floor!
Finally, the show has started, the crowds have departed, and it's now time for a quick group photo of the dancers who are left at the end of the demo.
And what better place to wind down afterwards than one of the many pubs around the area?  Supporting local business and all that, honest!

Yeah, right... who's round is it next (hic!)?

Thanks to Revolution Pictures for taking the photos.
