Hilton College
Drama and Music departments together with Epworth High School present Grease the Musical at the Hilton College
Theatre from April 24 to 28.
It's 1959, and
Rydell High School's senior class is in top form. The high school dream is
about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the
idealism of the 50’s and a satire of high schoolers' age-old desire to be 'too
cool for school', grown up and rebellious!
At the heart of the
story is the romance between Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy
Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer but now back in the context of
school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can
Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl?
The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy's romance, through such
hit songs as Greased Lightnin’ & We Go Together, recalling the music of
Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a
generation.
Grease is among the
world's most popular musicals and has a cult-like following of all ages. So put
on your Blue Suede Shoes and book now to see the school musical of the year!
