As the acclaimed choreographer’s revival of Grease goes on tour, she tells us how work and her young granddaughters keep her on her toes

• HELLO! (UK)
• 2 Apr 2024
• INTERVIEW: EMILY HORAN Grease tours 12 April to 16 November; visit greasemusical.co.uk. 

She may have turned 80 last year, but if there’s one thing that keeps Dame Arlene Phillips feeling young, it’s her two granddaughters. “There’s no game I won’t play – even if it involves crawling under the table,” the celebrated choreographer – grandmother to Lila, five, and Emme, three – exclusively tells hello!.

“They never stop dancing around. They say: ‘Watch me, Grandma!’ I love them so much,” she adds of her daughter Alana’s two girls. But it’s not just the little ones in her life helping Arlene stay full of energy.

“Work definitely keeps me trying to feel young,” laughs the star, who has spent her career crafting routines for A-listers from Sir Elton John to Tina Turner; she met her longterm partner Angus Ion on the set of Freddie Mercury’s I Was Born to Love You video in 1985.

Still as sparky as ever, it’s clear the former Strictly Come Dancing judge does not intend to slow down at all. She’s juggling a number of projects: the highly anticipated revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express

(opening in London in June), the hit London revival of Guys & Dolls and the UK and Ireland tour of Grease, which kicks off on 12 April at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre.

“This is the real story to Grease – it’s an all-singing, alldancing return to the original production,” says Arlene of the musical, which stars Marley Fenton as Danny and Hope Dawe as Sandy. “There’s a lot of edginess to this show. But all the big hits are there too.”

The star has a special link to Grease, having worked with Dame Olivia Newton-John, who played Sandy in the 1978 film.

“Olivia was a beautiful human being,” says Arlene, who choreographed the music videos for the singer and actress’s songs Dangerous Times and Twist of Fate in the 1980s. “One time, I had my daughter Alana with me. Olivia was wonderful with her. She was so sweet, kind and caring.

“What a lot of people don’t know is that, in many ways, she was responsible for my US career. She came to a live show that my dance group Hot Gossip were doing [in the late 1970s] and fell in love with them.

“She told me she was going to make a film with [US producer] Allan Carr – and that ‘he needs to see this’. She showed Allan a video of our show. I later got a call to ask if I’d be interested in going to Hollywood to choreograph his [1980] film Can’t Stop the Music,” says Arlene, who went on to work with directors including Clint Eastwood and Ridley Scott.

REVIVING A CLASSIC

She also worked on the 1993 West End production of Grease, as well as its revivals in 2007 and 2022 – and the latest cast is “fantastic”, she says. “I’ve seen it happen before, where certain cast members have a magnetism and the audience cannot take their eyes off them. Without question, Marley, our Danny, is going to be a magnet. He is captivating.”

Arlene is also directing and choreographing With All Our Hearts, an all-star West End gala, taking place on 9 April at London’s Adelphi Theatre, to celebrate 75 years of the NHS and raise money for NHS Charities Together.

Hosted by Oti Mabuse and Dr Ranj Singh and featuring theatre stars including Marisha Wallace and Kerry Ellis, the production “is going to be one very special night”, she says.

It has been 16 years since Arlene was a judge on Strictly, having left in 2008 after four years. Does she still tune in?

“I only really watch the dancing. For me, Strictly is about the dancers and the partnerships,” says the star, who is pleased that former professional dancer Anton Du Beke is on the panel. “Anton is lovely. He was destined to be a judge.”

Although her sparkling career has earnt her accolades including a damehood and a Special Recognition prize at the Olivier Awards, Arlene’s feet are still firmly on the ground.

“The moment you get those awards, you’re glowing, but life carries on,” she tells us. “In the bigger picture, it doesn’t change anything. I’ll always be down to earth.”

Arlene worked on the video for Olivia’s 1983 hit Livin’ In Desperate Times and says of the shoot: “It was an endless day in a freezing studio.

"We were both trying to encourage each other to keep going.

“My daughter Alana came to the shoot and kept trying to tell Olivia what to do — I’ve got a picture of her pointing at Olivia. "Children on set drive people insane but that was a great memory.”

John Farnham family exclusive: “Dad inspires us every day”

As John Farnham recovers from a battle with cancer, ahead of a new film about the legendary Australian singer’s life, family and friends share his deeply personal story with The Weekly.

• The Australian Women's Weekly 
• 20 Apr 2023
• WORDS by SUE SMETHURST

....

In August last year, the nation held its collective breath when the Farnham family announced that their adored husband and father, John, would immediately undergo a marathon 13-hour surgery after finding a cancerous tumour in his mouth. The diagnosis was an especially brutal blow because John was still reeling from the passing of his dear friend, Olivia Newton-John, just weeks earlier, and the sudden death that February of his long-time manager and best mate, Glenn Wheatley, from complications related to COVID-19.

.....

The biopic had John’s blessing, but when it came time for him to be interviewed, he was so bereft from Glenn’s loss, he felt unable to speak. So, Gaynor called the one person who could always buck John up, his long-time friend, Dame Olivia Newton-John.

“John was really sad,” Gaynor explains, “so I thought ‘I’ll ring Olivia.

She knows exactly what to say.’ And of course she did. In typical Olivia style, she said, ‘Yeah darling, I’ll give him a call. He needs a kick up the backside!’”

It worked a charm and with Olivia’s voice ringing in his ears, the ARIA Hall of Fame inductee opened up about his family, friends and his incredible career, and the film was back on track.

.......

Little could they have known that Olivia, who was also interviewed for the film, would soon pass, the news breaking as John was driving to hospital for a pre-surgery meeting with his own medical team.

“Olivia’s death was another huge blow for John, for everyone,” Gaynor says. “Two people he really loved and respected gone in a short period of time. It totally changed the context of the film. It’s even more precious to us now because it was Olivia and Glenn’s last interviews and then John … It’s quite profound when you watch it, and takes it beyond whatever Glenn imagined it would be. It's something I’m really proud of.”

 

LA PETITE PHRASE

“Music is so important to us. It can heal you, it can go straight to somebody’s heart,” Newton-John said in a voice-over recorded before she died from cancer last August.

Olivia Newton-John filmed her interview for the doco before her death last year.
