"After spending a hopelessly devoted summer with Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl in town," press notes state, "Danny Zuko's world is thrown upside down when Sandy appears at Rydell High on the first day of school. What follows is a rock n' roll celebration of growin' up, cruisin' with friends and goin' steady." The new production of Grease also features songs from the hit 1978 motion picture, including “Sandy,” the Academy Award-nominated song “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “Grease” and “You’re the One That I Want."

Grease features book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Additional songs from the film are by Barry Gibb, John Farrar, Louis St. Louis and Scott Simon.
