DRAMA

A Play about John and Abigail Adams (based on their actual letters) by Peter Manos.

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.

Head “greaser” 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 classic songs. The show features “Greased Lightnin’,” “You're the One That I Want,” and “Hopelessly Devoted,” that recall music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals.

Financially-strapped Francis Henshall has taken on the job of servant to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End London hood, who is trying collect E6,000 from his fiancée's father. However, it turns out that "Roscoe" is really his twin sister Rachel ... who has been posing as her own dead brother ... who has been killed by her own boyfriend, Stanley Stubbers ... for whom Francis also works. Still with us? The hilarity never stops in this award-winning slapstick farce in its knockabout quest to answer the age-old question: how can any man (especially Francis) serve two masters, without either of them finding out about the other; pursue and win the girl he fancies; and somehow get a decent meal in the process?
