GREASE, by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is the all-American musical, based on the sub-cultures of high school life in the 1950's. The show takes place at the hyperactive Rydell High School, where Danny Zuko fronts his gang - the raucous T-Birds - who romance their sassy female equivalents - the Pink Ladies. When "good girl" Sandy Dumbrowski arrives in town, the Pink Ladies take her under their collective wing.
In 1978, Grease became "the word" with a popular feature-film adaptation starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as the lovelorn leads. A Broadway revival played from 1994-1998.
The new Broadway production features the smash Jacobs-Casey songs made famous by the original play including Summer Nights, Greased Lightning and We Go Together as well as the additional films songs Grease is the Word, You're The One That I Want, Hopelessly Devoted to You, and Sandy interpolated into the score.
Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (The Pajama Game) directs and choreographs this new Broadway production.
