Grease

It's 1959 and Rydell High School's senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school Burger Palace Boys are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping Pink Ladies are sporting bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers age-old desire to be independent, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance during the summer but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still have demure Sandy as his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy's romance, through such hit songs as "Summer Loving", "Greased Lightnin'", "We Go Together", and "Mooning", recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.
