The revival opened at the [[Dominion Theatre]] before transferring to the [[Cambridge Theatre]] in October 1996, where it ran until September 11, 1999. Directed by David Gilmore and produced by [[Robert Stigwood]] (who had also produced the film), the opening cast included [[Craig McLachlan]] (Danny); [[Debbie Gibson]] (Sandy — [[Sonia (singer)|Sonia]], then [[Samantha Janus]] later replaced Gibson as Sandy); [[Mike Doyle (Wales)|Mike Doyle]] (Vince Fontaine); [[Tamzin Outhwaite]] (Patty); [[Shane Ritchie]] (Kenickie) and [[Sally Ann Triplett]] (Rizzo). (''Variety'', Review Abroad Grease, August 2–August 8, 1993) McLachlan was succeeded by Shane Richie, [[Luke Goss]], [[Ian Kelsey]] and [[Darren Day]]. The production's success led to the first British national tour which featured Shane Ritchie as Danny, Helen Way as Sandy, Toby Hinson as Vince Fontaine/Teen Angel, [[Ben Richards (actor)|Ben Richards]]/Alex Bourne as Kenickie and Michele Hooper as Rizzo. The score included four songs written for the film adaptation: "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "Sandy", "You're the One That I Want", and the title number.
