ABOUT THE SHOW
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding & Burger Palace Boys & and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking & Pink Ladies & in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical.
Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through iconic songs such as “Grease”, "Greased Lightnin", "You’re the One that I Want", “Born to Hand Jive,” "Beauty School Dropout", and “We Go Together,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.
An eight-year run on Broadway, two subsequent revivals, and multiple Tony Award nominations place Grease among the world's most popular musicals.

The leader of the Burger Palace Boys; good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm.

BETTY RIZZO: Female, High School Teen (Range:Alto A3–C5)
Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable.
FRENCHY: Female, High School Teen (Range: Alto, A3–D5)
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.
MARTY: Female, High School Teen (Range Alto, C4–C5)
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.
JAN: Female, High School Teen (Range: Alto, A3-C5)
Funny, loud, compulsive eater, and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
DOODY: Male, High School Teen (Range: Tenor, D4-A5)
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.
KENICKIE: Male, High School Teen (Range: Tenor, C4–F5)
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.

A member of the Burger Palace Boys; funny Italian-American, he is a braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer.
ROGER: Male, High School Teen (Range: Tenor, D4-A5)

VINCE FONTAINE: Male, High School Teen (Range: Ensemble/Part Flexible)

EUGENE FLORCZYK: Male, High School Teen (Range: Tenor, A3–E5)

A no-nonsense, serious, loud English teacher.
PATTY SIMCOX: Female, High School Teen (Range: Alto, D4-A4)
A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton.

THE PINK LADIES: Ensemble (SATB)
The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girl gang who hang around with the Burger Palace Boys.
