About GREASEEddie Mekka will star in the tour as DJ "Vince Fontaine." Eddie is best remembered as Carmine Ragusa on the hit TV classic, "Laverne & Shirley." The tour also stars Grand Rapids native Audrey Filson making her national tour debut in the role of "Patty Simcox." Audrey attended South Christian High School and graduated from Belmont University. She performed locally with the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre.
After spending a hopelessly devoted summer with Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl in town, Danny Zuko's world is thrown upside down when Sandy appears at Rydell High on the first day of school. What follows is a rock n' roll celebration of growin' up, cruisin' with friends and goin' steady. The new version of GREASETM features, for the first time ever in a Broadway production, songs from the smash hit 1978 film, including "Sandy," the Academy Award nominated song "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Grease" and "You're the One That I Want," the latter two of which were #1 hits on the Billboard Top 100 list. These songs are heard in addition to the Jacobs/Casey songs made famous by the original stage production including "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightnin'" and "We Go Together."
