Description: The first annual Youth Summer Program presents “Grease!” During the weeks of July 6-July 17, over 40 students work towards the production of one rockin’ musical. Classes in music, drama, and dance are applied to a full-scale production at an accelerated pace. The show will be performed by local students ages 12-18. Come and see what Worcester’s talented youth on the big Hanover stage!

“Grease” tells the story of 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", "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 8-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals along with innumerable school and community productions place Grease among the world's most popular musicals.
