In the summer of 1959, greaser Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski enjoy a sweet summer romance and part ways believing they will never meet again. When Sandy unexpectedly enrolls at Rydell High and reunites with Danny, their relationship becomes far more complicated. Determined to maintain his tough reputation with the Burger Palace Boys, Danny downplays his feelings for Sandy, while Sandy struggles to find her place among the gum-smacking Pink Ladies. As friendships, rivalries, and teenage dreams collide, the students of Rydell navigate love, identity, and growing up. Bursting with rock ’n’ roll energy and iconic songs like “Greased Lightnin’,” “Summer Nights,” and “We Go Together,” GREASE has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals and an exuberant celebration of young love, teenage rebellion, and the electrifying spirit of the 1950s.

THE PINK LADIES — The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls’ gang who hang around with the Burger Palace Boys.
BETTY RIZZO — Female, High School Teen. Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable. (Alto A3–C5)
FRENCHY — Female, High School Teen. A dreamer; good-natured but not too smart, she is heavily made up, fussy about her appearance, particularly her hair. She can’t wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician. (Alto, A3–D5)
MARTY — Female, High School Teen. The ‘beauty’ of the Pink Ladies; pretty and looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated. (Alto, C4–C5)
JAN — Female, High School Teen. Funny, loud, and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys. (Alto, A3-C5)
THE BURGER PALACE BOYS — A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers… or so they think.
DOODY — Male, High School Teen. 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. (Tenor, D4-A5)
KENICKIE — Male, High School Teen. 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. (Tenor, C4–F5)

VINCE FONTAINE — Male, High School Teen. A typical ‘teen audience’ disc jockey; slick, egotistical and fast-talking. He is also a veteran ‘Greaser.’
