Grease Synopsis:
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 “Alone at the Drive-In Movie,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals.
Grease - Character Descriptions
Note: While most of the characters are “high school teens” there will be a certain amount of flexibility in terms of age in casting the roles. If an applicant can credibly pass for a “mature” student they would be considered for a role as a teen.
There are several solos and duets in the show, but almost all characters sing and do some dancing. We are experienced at adapting different levels of singing and movement skills.
Besides the principal characters below, there will be ensemble roles available. We are also always on the look-out for backstage help.
DANNY ZUKO : Male, the leader of the Burger Palace Boys (or T-Birds) good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm.
DOODY: Male. The youngest of the guys; small, boyish and open, with a disarming smile and a hero worshipping attitude towards the other guys. He also plays the guitar. KENICKIE : Male. The second in command of the Burger Palace Boys; tough-looking, tattooed, surly and avoids any show of softness. He has an offbeat sense of humor.
ROGER : Male. The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type of boy; a clown who enjoys winding people up, he is full of mischief and is always dreaming up half-baked schemes and ideas VINCE FONTAINE : Male, Age Flexible. A typical 'teen audience' disc jockey; slick, egotistical and fast-talking. He is also a veteran 'Greaser.'
EUGENE FLORCZYK : Male. The class valedictorian; physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high pitched voice. He's a typical 'apple-polisher' - both smug and pompous, but gullible.
JOHNNY CASINO : Male. All-American, rock-star “greaser” student at Rydell High, whose real name is Clarence. TEEN ANGEL: Male, Age Flexible. Frenchy's suave and slick guardian angel, who encourages her to stay in school.
