Music, Lyrics, and Book by Jim Jacobs and Warren
Casey
"Grease is
the word! School’s out for the summer,
and the Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance is celebrating by producing that
perennial musical favorite, Grease, featuring
Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace
Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby socks and
pedal pushers. The look and sound of the
1950s are back in this rollicking musical.
Head
“greaser” Danny Zuko (played by Trey Cameron) and new (good) girl Sandy
Dumbrowski (Brynn Lewallen) 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’”, “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee”, and “Beauty School Dropout”
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.
Grease is such a well-known favorite that WSTA is
designating Friday, June 27th’s
performance as an audience sing-along show!
Whether you’ve visited Rydell High many times over the years or
you’ve never been inside its hallowed halls, Grease is PG-rated family fun for all. Come see why it’s a classic – with that
signature Theatre Alliance twist.
"A lively and
funny musical-as well as the dancing-est 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.” —New York Daily News

Alliance production is directed by Jamie Lawson and musically directed by Jackson
