A-womp bop a-looma! A-womp bam boom!
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 such songs as “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie,” recalling the 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.

RIZZO: Female (Range:Alto A3–C5) Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable.
FRENCHY: Female (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 (Range Alto, C4–C5) The 'beauty' of the Pink Ladies; looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated.
JAN: Female (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 (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. Please be prepared to showcase guitar skills in your audition if capable.
KENICKIE: Male (Range: Tenor, C4–F5) The second in command of the T-Birds; tough-looking, surly, and avoids any show of softness. He has an offbeat sense of humor.

PATTY SIMCOX: Female (Range: Alto, D4-A4) The ultimate cheerleader; confident, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm.
