Episode Details

Ricky Wilson, frontman of Kaiser Chiefs, is trading his guitar for a shiny costume as Teen Angel in a wild, immersive Grease experience — the only surviving cast member from his teen school production, calling it sweet vindication for his old drama teacher. The show’s a blast: audiences ride funfair rides, munch popcorn, and watch the film while live actors perform around them. Ricky’s role’s small but fun, and he’s loving the nostalgia. At 50, with twins and a London life, he’s embracing quirky projects that don’t demand full-time theatre commitments. Meanwhile, Kaiser Chiefs — formed in Leeds in 2003, breakout stars with 2005’s Employment — still rehearse in their original room, bonding like old friends and staying thrifty, even taking the train to gigs.
