It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form.
The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps
and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink
Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s
high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that
is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high
schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, provocative and
rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between
hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy
Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the
context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit
more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still
get make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around
Danny and Sandy’s romance, through such hit songs as “GREASED
LIGHTNIN'”, “We Go Together”, and “Mooning”, recalling the
music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the
soundtrack of a generation. Starting off with an eight-year Broadway
run, _Grease_ is among the world’s most popular musicals and has a
cult-like following, especially among youth & teens!
