Grease is always near the top of the list when reeling off the most beloved musicals.
First released as a musical 1971 before going on to become a critical and commercial success in the form of a smash-hit film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in 1978, Grease depicts the lives of greaser Danny Zuko and Australian transfer student Sandy Olsson who develop an attraction for each other.
It developed a cult following of fans in the process – but how well do you reckon you know the story and the songs?
Now’s your chance to put your knowledge to the test.
If you’re a fan of blasting out show tunes and singing along any time you’re given the chance, then this one’s probably for you.

This immersive brunch experience, hosted by The Brunch Club in partnership with Revolution, will take the classic bingo concept and put “a game-changing musical twist” on it.
There’ll be no more shouts of “two fat ladies, 88” as instead of using numbered balls like the traditional game of bingo we’ve all come to know, all of your favourite tracks from “the biggest and best musicals of all time” will be made use of in their place, all while you “jam out and sing-along”.

That’s not all either.
The bingo may be the main event, but there’ll also be plenty of games, competitions and special prizes up for grabs to keep you on your toes, and while fancy dress is not compulsory, there will be prizes for the best dressed attendees.

And along with an inclusive menu of grilled brunches, avocado toast and pancakes – with options available for vegetarians, vegans and those following a gluten-free diet – this is also a bottomless brunch, which means you can sip on a tipple or two, from Aperol Spritz and Prosecco, to Bloody Marys, a range of beers and and so much more, all while you sing-along to your heart’s content.
Alternatively, you can skip the booze and just stick to the brunch by itself if you’d prefer.

The arrival of the new Forest Tubing experience on Friday 22 May – just in time for schools across Greater Manchester to break up for half term – is set to build on Zip World Manchester’s existing woodland adventures, which already include a range of treetop net high ropes courses.
“Forest Tubing is a fun high‑energy experience that the whole family can enjoy,” commented Andrew Hudson, who is the CEO of Zip World, ahead of the experience’s arrival in Manchester later this month.
“We’re proud to bring the UK’s longest tubing experience to Manchester and give people even more reasons to get outside and spend quality time together.

“It’s a great addition to our Manchester site and something we’re looking forward to launching ahead of the summer.”
As mentioned, Forest Tubing opens at Zip World Manchester on Friday 22 May, and tickets start at £20 per person, but those booking in advance can save 15% through Zip World’s ‘early bird’ offer.
For visitors looking to make a full day of it, Zip World’s saver bundles also allow guests to book multiple adventures at a discounted rate – with Forest Tubing able to be combined with other woodland experiences at the Heaton Park site, including Treetop Nets, Tree Hoppers, and more.
