Select cast members will perform a series of songs for the benefit.
Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey's GREASE is one of my favorite shows, and I've seen several different versions of it over the last few years. Having seen the movie when I was a teenager, I'd always preferred productions that included songs from the film. But, ever since I saw New Line Theatre's raw, original take, I've become something of a purist. I still enjoy the inclusion of John Farrar and Barry Gibb's tunes, but I do think the show ends up watered down in the process. So, I was curious as to how the touring company, which features former American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks in the Teen Angel role, would play.
