Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-smacking, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Grease”, “Hopelessly Devoted To You”, “Sandy”, and “You’re The One That I Want”’, “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night,” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie”, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals. Grease debuted Off-Broadway in February 1972 at the Eden Theatre in New York City. The show then transferred to different theaters before closing on April 30th, 1980 after a record breaking 3,388 performances.
