    Appearing in this theatre for the first time is this rollicking musical comedy, Grease, which opened in 1972 and became one of Broadway's longest-running musicals, with Barry Bostwick, Richard Gere, and Patrick Swayze sharing the leading role. It takes a nostalgic look at growing up in the ultra-cool 50's, when slicked-back hair, beehive hairdos, tight pedal pushers, bobby sox, pajama parties, and drive-in movies were the rage. In 1978 Paramount Pictures released its film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John and it became one of the highest-grossing movie musicals of all time. A recent reality TV show, searching for talent for a Broadway revival, has brought more attention to this era and this production which made Broadway history with its 8-year run. Hairspray is the most recent musical to bring the same look and sound of the 50's. Popular songs include Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin' and We Go Together.
