Description:

Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

Show Notes:

*Grease: School Version retains the fun-loving spirit and immortal songs of the blockbuster show, but removes any profanity, lewd behavior, and Rizzo's pregnancy scare. The song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" is also deleted from this edition.

Additionally, the following songs have undergone lyric changes for the School Version:
"Alma Mater Parody"
"Summer Nights"
"Freddy, My Love"
"Greased Lightnin'"
"Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee"
"Beauty School Dropout"
The remainder of the songs have been edited for time, with some verses deleted.

Betty Rizzo
