Description
West Valley Light Opera presents one of Broadway's longest-running musicals.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.
