GreaseJune 19-25, 2005
A musical directed by Doug Bartelt, assisted by Kathy Hepner Books, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey Featuring:
Chorus Ensemble
Costumes by Zoe Cassady Choreography by Jill Marconi and Brooke Ferguson 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 sounds of the 1950s in a rollicking musical. While the 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. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French.
