FRANKSTON, VIC. — It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hubcaps and acting tough, and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby socks and pedal pushers.
The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, provocative and rebellious.
At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in the summer, but now, back in the context of school, peer pressure, and cliques make their love a bit more complicated.
The talented onstage cast will be supported by dedicated teams working in all areas behind the scenes, including lighting, sound, musicians, make-up, costumes and staging, all committed to achieving excellence.
Book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
