Start your day the New York bagel way
Grease is certainly the word when it comes to best-loved musicals and now you can catch a performance of the 1950s American high school hit show over a bagel breakfast for the first time ever.
New York Bakery Co has worked with producers to condense the best bits of the show into a 20-minute bite-sized burst of entertainment on Thursday 24th March for early birds who fancy starting their day the New York bagel-way.
The unique performance will include four musical numbers - Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’ and You’re the One That I Want - plus a finale. The special show will be enjoyed over a bagel breakfast. Not only is this a first for musicals, but it will also be one of the last chances for Londoners to see the show as it moves on tour across the UK.
Victoria Willis, Marketing Manager of New York Bakery Co, comments:
“We wanted to celebrate authentic New York and what better way than with a musical that started as a Broadway hit and another New York icon – bagels! It’s been great working with the cast of Grease to date to put on this unique performance.
“This New York Bakery Breakfast Club musical is a world first, and if it proves popular with British bagel-lovers we’ll definitely consider making it a regular New York bagel-y date in the diary across the country. So, watch this space.”
The early morning musical starts at 0830 at the Piccadilly Theatre – the home of Grease for the past three years – and you can get your hands on two free tickets for you and a friend by emailing your interest to musical@breakfastbagels.com. Doors will open and a bagel breakfast will be served from 0800.
Michael Havard-Bilton, Marketing Director of Grease, comments:
“A musical performed this early in the morning has never been done before, it’s a unique concept that we’re excited to be part of. The feel good factor of the show coupled with a healthy bagel breakfast is a brilliant start to anyone’s day. We hope the audience will love the concept as much as us so the New York Bakery Breakfast Club can be rolled out across the country.”
