Prove your love for GREASE 2 and support a new release!

Cult favorite movie musical sequel GREASE 2 is brought live to the stage in the new UK production titled COOL RIDER and the show recently established a Kickstarter to fund an official cast album, already near its goal with 17 days still to go.

The official description of the COOL RIDER Kickstarter is as follows: "Perhaps the greatest sequel ever told, COOL RIDER, the cult musical sequel played at the Duchess Theatre for one week in April 2014, after the rapturous reception from the one night only concert at the Lyric Theatre in January 2014. This limited edition recording needs YOU! Featuring the songs Back To School, Score Tonight, Cool Rider, Who's That Guy?, Reproduction, Do It For Our Country, Charades (you can skip it), Prowlin', Girl For All Seasons, (Love Will) Turn Back The Hands of Time, Rock-A-Hula-Luau (Summer is Coming) and We'll Be Together performed by cast members from the west end concert and special guests. Since COOL RIDER premiered on January 27th 2014 at the West Ends Lyric Theatre, and following its critically aclaimed return in April at the Duchess Theatre, there has been much demand worldwide for more productions, return engagements and a recording of the music. So with your help, we can make the COOL RIDER album a reality, but we can't do it without you. You, the fans of COOL RIDER (and the film that shall not be named) have been overwhelming in your support and we are looking forward to working with you on this campaign to quench the thirst we all have for these immortal, bowl-a-rama, ladder climbing, leather clad, reproducing musical hits (and Charades). We will be keeping you up-to-date with casting, recording schedules and extra perks, so stayed tuned for updates."
