Schimmel Center Hosts SING-A-LONG-A GREASE Tonight

Schimmel Center at Pace University will host Sing-a-long-a Grease when the unique, interactive show rolls into town. This brand new sing-a-long-a version of the classic film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John brought to you by the producers of Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music. You'd better shape up to sing along to the great movie musical, complete with on-screen lyrics and the chance to become a T-Bird or Pink Lady for the night and enter the world famous costume competition.

"It's the one that you want," says producer Ben Freedman, who previously brought us Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music. "Sing-a-long-a Grease is the show that audiences have been asking for since we first presented a singalong show back in 1999." Now, at last, "Summer Lovin'," "Grease Lightning" and the chance to sport a pink wig or greased quiff while belting out "You're The One That I Want" are coming to Schimmel Center. "Sing-a-long-a Grease is much more than 'just a movie,'" says Freedman. "It's an event, an interactive experience and the most fun you can have with your clothes on."

Sing-a-long-a Greasers will be decked out in their own versions of fifties high school garb worn at Rydell High, including poodle skirts and saddle shoes, black leather biker and powder-pink bomber jackets, chiffon scarves and skinny ties. Costumes are most definitely encouraged, but singing is mandatory! Every performance starts with a Sing-a-long-a host who warms up the audience, trains them how to "hand-jive", deploy the contents of their free magic moments fun packs and heckle in all the right places as well as judge the costume competition.

THE BIRTH OF SING-A-LONG - The unique, interactive entertainment form known as Sing-a-long-a, meanwhile, was allegedly born in an old people's home in Inverness, Scotland. The nurses wanted to involve the residents in an interactive group therapy. They therefore wanted to screen Seven Brides For Seven Brothers and gave out song sheets so that everyone could sing-a-long. The idea was then developed in 1999, before opening at the Prince Charles Cinema in August of that year. After an initial eight-show run soon sold out, while attracting huge media attention, and regular shows has been running ever since all around the world. Now, finally, comes the dream union between Grease and Sing-a-long-a.
