Six years later, the musical was immortalized on the silver screen. The classic film adaptation starred John Travolta, Olivia Newton John and Stockard Channing and was one the most successful movie musical ever. "Grease" tells the classic tale of a good girl and a bad boy falling in love, defying their peers and growing up. When new girl Sandy meets Danny, the coolest boy in town, they become smitten and spend the summer nights together. However, when the first day of school rolls around at Rydell High, their summer lovin' gets put under the scrutiny of the spotlight. Sandy makes new girl friends, the Pink Ladies, who show her the ropes when Danny and his gang of Burger Palace Boys suddenly become too cool for her. The musical was revolutionary for its time, addressing issues like peer pressure, dropping out of school, gangs and teen pregnancy. Over three decades after the musical's debut, the themes still resonate with parents and kids alike. Recently, NBC hosted "Grease: You're the One that I Want," a show looking for talented individuals to cast as Sandy and Danny in a new Broadway production of "Grease." The program, with over 90 million viewers, showed that America is still in love with "Grease." This November, the kids at Rydell High make another appearance in Minneapolis when "Grease" hits the Orpheum Theatre. Lauren Ashley Zakrin stars as goody-goody Sandy Dumbrowski, and Eric Schnieder plays bad boy Danny Zuko. The tour also boasts singing sensation Taylor Hicks, winner of the fifth season of "American Idol." Hicks stars as the Teen Angel in the new production. The 2009 tour promises to send audiences into the aisles bopping along to the show's hit songs like "You're the One that I Want" and "Summer Nights." http://media.www.themacweekly.com/media/storage/paper1230/news/2009/11/13/TheArts/grease.Returns.To.Minneapolis.For.Some.Autumn.Lovin-3830333.shtml Edited by mouser, Nov 20 2009, 06:15 PM.

http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2009/11/19/theater-orpheum-grease-still-word At the Orpheum, "Grease" is still the word By Sara Donlin, TC Daily Planet November 19, 2009 Choreographer-director Kathleen Marshall's revival of Grease brings back the magic of Rydell High; however, it fell short of my expectations. The music is contagious, the choreography is energetic, and the supporting performers have great comic timing. The lead characters, though, fall flat. Still, from start to finish there's a fun atmosphere at the Orpheum. There's even an appearance by American Idol winner Taylor Hicks as "Teen Angel" (Wednesday through Friday only) and an entertaining pre-show with DJ Vince Fontaine, who warms up the crowd with hits from the 1950s, gains audience participation with some classic dance moves, and even pokes a little fun at Coon Rapids. This production of Grease is not the best I've seen, but it's a fun show and well worth the ticket price. Grease tells the classic story of good-girl-falls-for-bad-boy. Danny Zuko (Eric Schneider), leader of the Rydell High T-Birds, is the epitome of the 1950s cigarette-smoking, leather-jacket-wearing James Dean persona. Danny meets Sandy Dumbrowski (Emily Padgett), the innocent, fresh-faced Sandra Dee archetype, over the summer, and romance ensues. Both assumed Sandy was returning to her home town at summer's end; however, plans change and Sandy is now the new girl at Rydell High. The story follows the two as Danny tries to stay cool even while dating the good girl. Sandy doesn't know what to make of this new version of Danny and runs into her own set of problems while attempting to fit in with the Pink Ladies, the opposing female version of the T-Birds. Both gangs have hilarious and talented members who create solid side stories to bolster the plot line—from a beauty school attendee who can't seem to mix the dyes right to a hot-rod-loving gear head who creates "Greased Lightening." This cast of characters provides for continuous entertainment throughout the 2 hour and 15 minute run time. The timeless music of Grease did not fail to entertain. It is wonderful to see a pairing of the original Broadway hits by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey combined with hits from the 1978 film such as John Farrar's "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Sandy," and "You're the One that I Want." The choreography is fun and dynamic. The cast's vocal ability is impressive, especially the female leads. Standout performances are given by Bridie Carroll (Jan), Will Blum (Roger), and Brian Crum (Doody). Their comedic timing and strong vocal talents inspire a lot of laughter throughout songs such as "Mooning" and "Those Magic Changes." An honorable mention can also be made for Hicks's smooth crooner voice and playful demeanor. He's a bit awkward, yet engaging at the same time. Many of the lead performers, including Schneider and Allie Schulz (Rizzo), are just average. "Grease" is still the word: I am still humming the show's tunes! It fell short of my expectations; however, I still enjoyed myself. I would recommend attending the show and getting there a few minutes early. Vince Fontaine is worth your time and will get you in the Rydell High spirit! |

THEATER | Taylor Hicks leaves 'em swooning in "Grease" By Juleana Enright, TC Daily Planet November 20, 2009 "It's got groove, it's got meaning." The original "word"—Grease—returns to the Orpheum Theatre this week for a generation-bridging production of the beloved and popular musical. In the audience for opening night on Wednesday, I witnessed all the magical rock-'n'-roll-ridden excitement brought to the big screen in the 1978 motion picture version, with a few added surprises. If you were born to hand jive, have ever owned a poodle skirt, consider grease a hair product, know how to dance the swim, or drooled over John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as "Danny" and "Sandy," this musical is your ticket to a kitschy, entertaining, and nostalgia-filled night. The show opens with the fast-talking, charmingly boisterous, Vince Fontaine—the voice of Rydell High's rock n' roll radio air waves, WAXX—engaging audience members with light comedy shtick and karaoke-style renditions of ‘50s bubblegum hits. Throughout the show, die-hard fans of Grease the movie will notice that the musical deviates a bit from its screen counterpart, but the pivotal things—choreography that doesn't miss a beat, raunchy innuendos, an animated and energetic cast and favorite numbers—remain constants. From "Greased Lightnin'" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You" to "Summer Nights" and the comradely, "We Go Together," the production is loaded with the catchy Jacobs/Casey songs made famous by the original stage production and which became immediate chart-topper hits after the jump to Hollywood fame. Don't be embarrassed if you find yourself instinctively and unconsciously singing along; mostly likely the person in the aisle next to you will be also. grease, playing through november 22 at the orpheum theatre. for tickets ($28-$78) and information, see hennepintheatretrust.org. Flirting with social issues like teenage pregnancy, gangs, and rebellion, the show tackles the drama with humor and a little vulgarity, with a cast eager to rise to the occasion—for the most part, that is. The few meek cast performances that muddle the production are thankfully outnumbered by stand-outs from some less common characters, including a hysterical, scene-stealing performance from the Pink Ladies' aspiring cosmetologist, Frenchy, played by Kate Morgan Chadwick. Her exaggerated shrill delivery mixed with screwball humor was a surprisingly refreshing and memorable portrayal of a classic character. Another hilarious performance and guilty pleasure is in a duet scene between Jan and Roger—the chubbier goofballs of the Pink Lady/T-Bird crew—in which Roger (aka "Rump") shares his secret pants-dropping, exhibitionist pastime: "Mooning." And I couldn't mask my excitement during the shining moment: the unforgettable "You're the One That I Want" reveal scene where a pompadoured and freshly sexed-up Sandy (Lauren Ashley Zakrin) steals the heart—and libido—of T-Bird leader, Danny Zuko (Eric Schneider). Of course, we can't forget one of the biggest reasons for a packed opening night theater crowd: a performance from the platinum-selling recording artist and American Idol winner, silver-haired country boy Taylor Hicks. Appearing as "Teen Angel," Frenchy's dreamy advice-shelling song bird, Hicks makes his theatrical entrance by bursting out of a giant 15-cent ice cream cone. Commanding the stage as his bluesy adaption of "Beauty School Drop-Out" encourages the puzzled pink haired Pink Lady to "turn in her teasin' comb" and go back to high school. Even in the darkened aisles of the Orpheum, I could see audience members—especially women in their 40s and 50s—light up with sheer glee to see the Bruce Springsteen vocal ringer and "Idol" star live and shaking his stuff in a glitter adorned, Vegas-style angel suit. And when Hicks pulled out a harmonica from deep within the tight pockets of his shimmery slacks to give the number that signature Hicks quality, I was sure someone in the crowd was going to have a heart attack. Whether or not Simon Cowell would approve of his performance is a moot point. This night it was all about the audience's opinion, and they loved it. Towards the show's finale, I was left a little confused when a standing ovation turned into a heavy-winded reprise of almost all the popular numbers, but nothing could quite prepare me for the actual "curtain call" when Hicks returned to the stage, guitar in tow, for a mini-concert promoting his new single. Marketing at its most convincing, ladies and gents. If you're a Hicks fan, sit down and enjoy the music; if you're not, I would suggest silently slipping out the door. No matter when you decide to exit the theater during this production of Grease, I can guarantee "a wop bop a loo bop a wop bam boom" will be stuck in your head endlessly, or at least for the duration of the evening. http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2009/11/20/theater-taylor-hicks-leaves-em-swooning-grease |
