Amber Stone was chosen as the Gypsy Robe Winner for Grease, which opened on Sunday, August 19th at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street) after beginning previews on July 24th. Stone is the understudy for the roles of Cha-Cha Di Gregorio, Frenchy and Jan. Stone's previous Broadway experience was in the cast of the 2006 revival of The Pajama Game.
The colorful Gypsy Robe, embellished with mementos from Broadway musicals, is presented to the cast member who has the most Broadway chorus credits. Previous Gypsy Robe recipient, Peter Samuels (Secret Garden, Marie Christie) was on-hand to present the traditional theatre garb to Stone.

Joining Amber Stone, the cast includes Max Crumm as "Danny" and Laura Osnes as "Sandy," plus Ryan Patrick Binder as "Doody," Susan Blommaert as "Miss Lynch," Jeb Brown as "Vince," Stephen R. Buntrock as "Teen Angel," Daniel Everidge as "Roger," Allison Fischer as "Patty," Robyn Hurder as "Marty," Lindsay Mendez as "Jan," Jenny Powers as "Rizzo," Jose Restrepo as "Sonny," Matthew Saldivar as "Kenickie," Jamison Scott as "Eugene" and Kirsten Wyatt as "Frenchy." The ensemble features Josh Franklin, Cody Green, Natalie Hill ("Cha-Cha"), Matthew Hydzik, Emily Padgett, Keven Quillon, Brian Sears, Christina Sivrich, and Anna Aimee White.
