"I'm loving being back in NZ, Australia was so good to me but it just wasn't home."

"I am enjoying working with such a talented and dedicated cast. I think everyone coming to the show will have a great time. You can't help but sing with Grease so I'm hoping people dress up, sing along, and get amongst it! ", says Ms McMillan.

Ethan Wellington was selected to be cool T-Bird leader Danny Zuko. Born in Rotorua Ethan is no stranger to the Rotorua Musical Theatre after playing the role of wanna-be-rockstar Drew Boley in the Rock of Ages production last year.
