ABOUT THE PLAY
This rollicking musical is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between the hot-rodding Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back at school, peer-pressure makes their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool status and still make demure Sandy his girl? Grease won the 2008 Tony award for best musical revival. It is among the world’s most popular musicals and has a cult-like following, especially among teens.
