Featuring young actors ages 12-18 and a live band, GREASE will be performed at the Riverdale YM-YWHA, located at 5625 Arlington Avenue (just off of Riverdale Avenue and West 256th Street), in Riverdale, Bronx, NY.

Advance tickets are $15 (students/seniors) and $20 (adults) and may be purchased online at www.riverdaley.org/boxoffice. Tickets will also be available at the door. All seats are reserved.

Featuring classic songs like "Summer Nights," "We Go Together," "Greased Lightning," "Beauty School Dropout," and many more, GREASE features music, lyrics, and book by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
