"Grease"
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding
"Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies"
in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s
in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good)
girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer
Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such
songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "It's Raining on Prom Night", "Alone at
the Drive-In Movie" recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard
and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An 8-year
run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals along with innumerable
school and community productions place
Grease among the world's most popular musicals.
