The Argyle Theatre will present GREASE, directed and choreographed by Eugenio Contenti with musical direction by Jonathan Brenner, through August 27, 2023. The company celebrated opening night on Saturday, July 8, 2023, at 7:30 PM, and BroadwayWorld was there to capture the festivities!

Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “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 as “Greased Lightnin’," “It's Raining on Prom Night," and “Born to Hand Jive.” An eight-year run on Broadway, two subsequent revivals, and innumerable school and community and regional productions place Grease among the world's most popular musicals.

 "Presenting the musical Grease fills me with immense excitement. Its timeless charm and infectious energy have captivated audiences for generations. This production promises to ignite nostalgia, joy, and a celebration of youth that will leave a lasting impression." Argyle Theatre's Artistic Director, Evan Pappas
