People who only know the movie will be shocked and surprised at how
the stage version goes even deeper into the ill fated love of Sandy
and Danny, as well as the affair of their counterparts and alter egos,
Rizzo and Kenickie. The show features several songs that are not in
the movie as well.... but all the favorites are there (Go Greased
Lightnin'!) Grease captures the birth of raging hormonally charged
Adolescence better than anything going...Though filled with dance and
song, Grease has quieter      moments of heartbreak and friendship
that will leave audiences with a tune in their ears and a lump in
their throat.
 
A doo-wopping backup girl group led by student sensation Courtney
Knott (who recently performed at the White House) round out what will
be an unforgettable evening for the whole family... (Though the show
has some adult themes, necking and smoking, we think nine years old
and up is safe...)
