Its 1959, and Rydell High Schools senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school Burger Palace Boys are stealing hubcaps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking Pink Ladies are looking hot in bobby socks and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers age-old desire to be provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot- rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance over the summer, but now back in the context of school, peer pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandys romance, through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin," "We Go Together, and Mooning, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Starting off with an eight-year Broadway run, Grease is among the worlds most popular musicals and has a cult-like following, especially among teens! The Theatre Workshop version features a talented cast of young professionals, led by Abraham Shaikh, Melissa Brausch, Hannah Bonnett, Zach Stark and Joshua Clifton Powell, and features Annie Travolta as Miss Lynch though July 20th. Directed by Justin Cerne, Choreographed by Jenn Hemphill, Music Direction by Nick Wilders.
