What’s a better way to kick-start the summer theatre seasons than by singing along to “Summer Nights” at the Moonlight Stage Production of “Grease?” This stage version tells the story of Rydell High and its students, and the cute romance of Sandy and Danny is slightly different from the movie version it inspired. 'Grease' runs at Vista’s Moonlight Amphitheater through May 17th.
