Grease The Movie

Grease Musical

Introduction (The Original Story Line)

Originally staged as a five-hour amateur production in a Chicago trolley barn, Grease took a look at the dress, manners, morals, and music of teenagers at the beginning of the rock and roll era (1950's). The plot revolves around Danny Zuko (Barry Bostwick) and Sandy Dumbrowski (Carole Demas). The show included such musical hits as "Summer Nights", "Greased Lightning", and "Beauty School Dropout".

Grease opened at the Off-Broadway Eden Theatre, moved on to Broadway at the Broadhurst, and was eventually transferred to the Royale. It was performed 3,388 and made a record.
