Last night Didi Conn, Frenchy from “Grease”, launched a NOW TV pop-u prescreening experience on Bateman Street, Soho to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the hit movie. The event is set to give fans who won tickets to the event through Eventbrite, the chance to step back in time to the fabulous fifties and immerse themselves in an exact replica of Frenchy’s bedroom and the iconic sleepover scene from the film. From retro sweets to a flirty fifties props including the iconic Pink Ladies jackets, every attendee will be given a chance to have their very own ‘look at me I’m Sandra Dee’ moment.
The event is being held in London on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th May. On arrival, hopelessly devoted fans will enjoy the pop-up’s patterned pink wallpaper, plush carpets, satin-fringed curtains, and Rydell High flags. There will even be a giant panda toy poised to paw Rizzo’s silky drawers.
Attendees who have been lucky enough to win a free ticket through an Eventbrite ballot will be able to take friends to enjoy retro food and drink while they watch this unique screening of Grease on NOW TV. Plus, for those really wanting a ‘look at me I’m Sandra Dee’ moment, props will be scattered in the room – rollers, hair nets, jackets and much more.
Didi Conn said: “I’m so excited to be here, it’s like stepping back into my bedroom on set 40 years ago – all that’s missing are my pink ladies. What a fabulous way to reignite excitement around this family favourite film for such a big anniversary – I’m thrilled that we’re able to offer fans old and new a chance to experience the Grease magic for themselves.”
The ballot for Friday 11th May 15:00 and 18:00 sessions is open until Thursday 10th May at 11:00 at https://nowtvgrease.eventbrite.co.uk
