It's a scientific fact that singing makes you happy, and according to a study carried out by the University of East Anglia, singing in groups makes you even happier!

The Gateway Theatre is going to make you extremely happy during October, because it has two live sing-alongs in the shape of 'The Greatest Showman' and 'Grease'.

With free interactive prop bags, containing a glow stick, hand-clapper, an invitation/ticket, tissue, and party popper, your host will teach you a unique set of dance moves. Wear your favourite fancy-dress and enjoy singing as loud as you want and dancing to these smash hit musicals that will be screened along with the lyrics for you to follow.

Sing along to Hugh Jackman's 'Greatest Show' and 'A Million Dreams', or how about Keala Settle's 'This is Me'? Or you could duet with your best friend or neighbour 'From Now On'.

In the evening, 'Grease' truly is the word if you want to find out what it's like to be a T-Bird or Pink Lady. It starts with a voice warm up to get you in the mood, then 'You're The One That I Want'.
