"Grease the musical" From film to stage


“I got chills… They’re multiplying!”

Now the characters of “Grease” are loosing control every night on Broadway.  Slick hair, puffy skirts and shinny tights are gracing the stage after being made and re-made for film. It opened on Broadway in 2007 and is now on tour.

The movie’s history spans over a quarter of a century drawing all ages to the theatre.  Orignally made in 1970 the film starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton.  It tells the story of a group of friends in a 1950’s high school so it captures baby boomers’ since of nostalgia.

Black jackets and red accessaries make the lead characters pop in this musical as they dance and sing among the pastel drenched ensemble.  All of these costumes makes this show a flashback success.
