STAR Repertory Theatre presents GREASE

STAR Repertory Theatre, San Diego A-List Best Theatre Group 2014-Present, in collaboration with Jim Jacobs, is proud to present their production of GREASE THE MUSICAL, at the prestigious and captivating California Center for the Arts, Escondido, March 23-26, 2017. It is very difficult for a large community theatre to obtain the rights to GREASE. But STAR Rep has had the unique and very amazing opportunity to obtain those rights and to be able to work with the co-writer and creator Jim Jacobs on this production! STAR Rep has also purchased the rights to use the additional movie songs from the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John version. Join the Pink Ladies, the T-Birds and the rest of the gang at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, and discover why Grease is most definitely the word!

STAR Rep has compiled an incredible all-STAR production team, and an equally impressive cast of over 53 talented actors and actresses. With an incredible live orchestra, this will be STAR Rep's most renowned productions yet!

STAR Rep's talented performers have teamed up with GREASE co-writer and creator Jim Jacobs for the latest production of this all-American favorite. GREASE follows the '50s romance of innocent ingénue Sandy, and bad-boy greaser Danny as they enter their senior year at Rydell High. Danny believes their hot summer fling is over ... until Sandy unexpectedly enrolls at his school. The hit 1978 movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John quickly became a musical phenomenon with catchy sing-along tunes like "Summer Nights," "You're the One That I Want," "We Go Together", "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Greased Lightning." This stage version, packed with high-energy choreography, remains a perennial favorite.

STAR Rep COO/Founder and Director Scott Kolod is extremely happy to be able to bring GREASE THE MUSICAL to the stage in San Diego..." Working on this production has been the time of my life! I have loved this show since it opened in the early 70's. Everyone loves the iconic 50's romp with Danny, Sandy and the gang. Then, when the movie came out I loved it as much or more. It is difficult for a Community Theatre to obtain the rights to perform the show. So, after two previous denials, I was elated, when they finally said yes!! Then, we were lucky enough to reach a deal to add some of the movie songs to these performances. It was so cool that the stars aligned to allow Ben Goniea, Kevin Burroughs, and Kat Baker. to work together with me on this. Then, the fates looked down, and bestowed the inimitable Jim Jacobs upon me. As if that were not enough, I was very fortunate to have an incredibly talented and hard working cast come out for the show. Then, I was happy I worked out a deal with a new company to secure the technology and equipment to use GREASE projection backdrops, and that I have Justin Fry. to make it a reality! But, maybe best of all, I get to play electric guitar again. It has been a long time."
