A celebration of teenage dreams, rebellious hearts, and the magic of first love, audiences will step into the high school hallways of the 1950s where leather jackets shake and ponytails swing to timeless hits like Summer Nights, Greased Lightning, and You’re the One That I Want. The original Broadway production of Grease opened on February 14, 1972, running for eight years and 3,388 performances. It has enjoyed two wildly popular Broadway revivals from 1994–1998 and from 2007–2009. Between the three productions, Grease has received 11 Tony Award nominations.
