Cast and Crew: See List Below...

This is the 1950's rock 'n' roll musical. Rydell High's spirited class
of '59; gum chewing, hubcap stealing, hot rod loving boys with D.A.'s and their wise cracking girls in bobby sox and pedal pushers---capture the look and sound of the 1950s in a rollicking musical. While hip Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their mutual attraction, the gang sings and dances its way through such nostalgic scenes as the pajama party, the prom, the burger palace, and the drive in movie.

Songs recall the Buddy Holly hiccups, the Little Richard yodels and the Elvis Presley wiggles that made the music of the
50s a gas. Grease's eight year run made Broadway history and its recent long running revival put it among today's most popular musicals. "A lively and funny musica---as well as the dancingest one in town.... It's a winner.... The songs ... are dandies [that portray] the early rockers ... with zip and charm.... The sheer energy of Grease carries all before it."---N.Y. Daily News.
