Grease is the word! We all heard and saw it at Llangunllo Community Hall on Saturday, 19th November. The film complete with singalong lyrics was great fun with the audience joining in with those famous songs, ‘You’re The One That I Want’, ‘Sandy’, ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’, ‘Summer Nights’ and many others. There was even dancing going on from some parts of the audience!
During the interval, hot dogs were served followed by knickerbocker glories, tea and coffee. It was good to see the ‘Pink Ladies’ looking after the audience as well as the many leather jacket-clad gents and ladies about the place. Some of the ladies had even taken the trouble to have their hair in 1950s bouffant style held in place with lashings of hair spray. Prizes were drawn in the raffle and with everyone fed, the lights were dimmed and the film continued.
Star of the evening was Nick who was sporting a genuine leather jacket complete with T-Birds on the back given to him by a member of the cast from the London stage show version of Grease.
Many thanks to the Friends of St Cynllo’s Church for putting on this fun-filled film night and for their efforts in decorating the hall, preparing the food and helping everyone to have a great time.
