Ray Quinn, former X Factor finalist and the current Dancing On Ice champion, takes to the West End stage in The Piccadilly Theatre's production of Grease this summer. Ray stars in the iconic role of Danny Zuko, the leader of the T-Birds gang, for a limited season from 11th May to 3rd October 2009, with Emma Stephens taking the role of Sandy. Recently winning the nation's hearts on the popular ITV show Dancing On Ice, Ray was crowned champion of the celebrity ice dance contest after skating his way to glory in the final show on 22nd March. The Ice King then went on to complete the live UK tour of the show. Looking forward to his role in Grease, he says: "I'm so thrilled to be playing Danny in the West End. Grease is such an all time favourite and to be in the role made so famous by John Travolta is amazing - I can't believe my luck, it's a dream come true!" Voted the No. 1 Greatest Musical, Grease has proved that a musical love story, bursting with denim, cheerleaders, slick hairstyles, rock'n'roll, teenage angst and young romance is timeless and universal. Originally opening in the West End in 1993, the show has been seen by audiences totalling over 9 million people in the UK alone. |  Ray Quinn as Danny Zuko |
