The title ‘Grease’ is named after a working-class teenage subculture from the 1950s United States known as ‘greasers’ and the musical’s setting is the fictional Rydell High School in the year of 1959. The storyline follows ten working-class teenagers as they navigate the complexities of peer pressure, politics and (of course) young love. We chose this musical due to its popularity but also the timeless themes of love, loss and friendship.

Grease the School Edition is a lively and funny musical comedy by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs. Since its electric Broadway and West End debut in the early 1970s, Grease  has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals. Its fun-loving spirit and immortal songs, including ‘Greased Lightnin’’, ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’, ‘You’re The One That I Want’, and ‘Summer Nights’, make it a favourite among rock and roll fans of all ages.

Tickets for the school’s production of Grease will be checked at the security entrance on Yide Dao from 1715hrs. All e-ticket-holders (pupils and parents) will need to have their tickets scanned on entry to school. A sticker will be offered in exchange for the e-ticket on arrival. This sticker should be displayed prominently throughout the evening’s performance.
