Photo Coverage: First Look at Evolution Theatre Company's THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVER TOLD
A stage manager cues the creation of the world. She's in control of everything, she's either God, or she thinks she is.

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 time in this rollicking musical.
