Grease was the word at Dannevirke Regent Cinema when the popular movie was screened to a small audience.

While some were there to renew their acquaintance with the 1978 movie and at least lip-sync along to some favourite songs, younger audiences were seeing it for the first time.

Kaitlin Edmonds, one of the volunteers at the Dannevirke Regent Cinema, also dressed up for the screening of Grease.

There were a few T-Birds and a few Pink Ladies in the small crowd vying for best-dressed, as well as some spot prizes.

Ella Masters and Richie Reid won prizes for the best-dressed adult Pink Lady and T-Bird respectively at Dannevirke Regent Cinema's screening of Grease.

Grease starred John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John and was based on a musical.
