This is the 1950's rock 'n' roll musical. Rydell High's spirited class of '59; gum chewing, hubcap stealing, hot rod loving boys with D.A.'s and their wisecracking girls in bobby socks and pedal pushers---capture the look and sound of the 1950s in a rollicking musical. While hip Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their mutual attraction, the gang sings and dances its way through such nostalgic scenes as the pajama party, the prom, the burger palace, and the drive-in movie. Songs recall the Buddy Holly hiccups, the Little Richard yodels and the Elvis Presley wiggles that made the music of the 50s a gas. Grease's eight year initial run in the 70's made Broadway history followed by a staggeringly popular movie adaptation. Then a long-running revival in the 90's put it among the most popular contemporary musicals, and a brand new mounting just opened on Broadway, promising yet another stellar run for this sparkling joyride through a 50s high school. Now The Rising Stars is bringing this perennial favorite to the Northwest Chicago community. Come and be part of the fun! For more information visit: http://www.risingstarstc.org/
