Book Reviews of Grease: A New '50's Rock'n' Roll Musical
Book Review: Definitely Racy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the original script, which I ordered at the same time as the school version, to decide which would be best to produce at our school. If you are planning for an audience of parents/students, in a school situation, the school version is definitely the better choice. If you are a community theatre and your target audience is older and/or more liberal, then the original version would be fine to perform, a it has sexual themes and some swearing.
Summary of Grease: A New '50's Rock'n' Roll Musical
Full Length, Musical / Characters: 9m, 8f 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. "A lively and funny musical--as well as the dancingest one in town...it's a winner...the songs are dandies [that portray] the early rockers with zip and charm...the sheer energy of Grease carries all before it." - N.Y.
