Synopsis:
Spend a "summer night" at TMP and enjoy one of the most popular Tony Award-winning musicals of all time, Grease! Set in fictional Rydell High School, this vibrant show celebrates a time when the word "teenager" was in the process of being coined by the Class of '59, bobby socks were fashionable, and beehive hairdos were cool. It's the love story of Sandy and Danny as they make their way through a world of the Burger Palace, drive-ins, massive cars, hula hoops, Brylcreem, and milkshakes. With songs like "Greased Lightning" and "Beauty School Dropout," Grease bursts with rocking vitality and just plain fun. Frenchy's obsessive change of hair color, the dancing contest with the seductive Vince Fontaine, and the dangerous Cha-Cha all depict the growing pains of a bygone generation.
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 revival put it among today's most popular musicals. Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
