Grease

Presented by Nottingham Arts Theatre

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 looking hot.

 The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rocking musical that is both a homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be 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.

After a secret summer romance, back in school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get his girl?

The whole gang sings and dances through hit songs such as Greased Lightnin', We Go Together, and Hopelessly Devoted, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.
