Natalie Bassingthwaighte is a busy girl at the moment.

Neighbours viewers have seen her character Izzy getting up close and personal with resident baddie Paul Robinson - despite the fact she's supposed to be madly in love with Karl.

Now the actress is returning to her first love - musicals - when she appears in a touring production of Grease from May 6. She'll be playing Sandy, a role she first took in 2001.

Joining her on stage will be none other than Craig McLachlan, better known to Ramsay Street followers as Henry Ramsay, Madge's joker son.

He's no stranger to Grease either, having portrayed Danny in London's West End during a record-breaking run.

If you've been wondering what he's been up to for the past few years, Craig became a stand-up comedian, performing in Melbourne's clubs.

He's also just made a film with fellow Neighbours veteran Delta Goodrem, entitled Hating Alison Ashley.
