Grease had its Broadway première in 1972
and has triumphed throughout the world. In 1979 Grease took over the record
as the longest-running show in the history of Broadway and the hit film
starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John proved to be the highest-grossing
movie musical ever.
Everywhere it
opened Grease struck a universal chord with its irresistible mix of adolescent
angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture. Jim Jacobs and Warren
Casey created a perfect period piece - a pastiche of the 1950s: "fast, furious and thrilling, an injection of raw energy...
and fun, fun, fun", according to The Daily Mirror
Grease has maintained its everlasting popularity, proving that teenage
angst and love’s young dream remain timeless and universal themes.
