‘Grease’ will come to life at Yas Island

How many times have you watched Grease and wished it would come to life? In March, your dreams may come true.

Yas Island’s Gateway Park South will host a free outdoor cinema, from March 15-17 and March 22-24. But here’s the twist: it will be an interactive experience, with live performances included.

On Fridays, the theme is Back to the ‘80s as Grease lights up the city — both on screen and off it. West End dancers will bring a live element to the screening as they perform songs alongside the film, such as Summer Nights, Grease Lightnin’ and You’re the One That I Want. There will also be Beauty School drop-in makeovers and T Bird Barbers for men, to achieve that signature Travolta quiff.

For Bollywood lovers, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will screen on March 17, and Bollywood star Arbaaz Khan will make a special appearance on stage.

There will be fun for the whole family on Thursdays with Disney classics and Hollywood blockbusters, as part of a drive-thru style screening.

Finally, the Yas Movies in the Park festivities will conclude on March 24 with a Viewer’s Choice Night, relying on an audience vote.

Further movie titles and a final schedule have yet to be announced. To attend, visitors can register for a free pass on yasmovies.ae.
