Grease has been gracing stages across the globe since first playing at the Kingston Mines Theatre in Chicago in 1971, but it was the hit movie starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta that came out in 1978 that really rocketed this production to star status. The tale of two star-crossed lovers from distinctly different cliques at Rydell High School is a heartwarming story that has delighted Grease ticket holders for generations.
Currently, Grease tickets are available for the touring schedule in England, but the popularity of this musical in the United States assures Grease fans that yet another rendition of the show probably isn't all that far away.
A Storyline for Grease Ticket Holders
Grease tickets offer entrance into a story about two high school sweethearts, Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski, who are attending Rydell High in 1959. The two met during summer vacation, but the romance ended at the end of the season, when each thought they were returning to separate locations. However, a move by Sandy's family placed her at the same school as Danny, where the two must grapple with their different social circles that keep them apart.
Eventually the two find their way back to one another, and the rest of the crowd gets a happy ending as well, just as all good musicals should end.
Who Should Buy Grease Tickets?
With a long and illustrious history, Grease ticket holders come in a diverse age range. Younger audiences enjoy the upbeat music and dancing, while older fans love taking a walk down memory lane. The story is fairly child-friendly as well, with the exception of a character who thinks she has gotten pregnant by her high school boyfriend. Nearly everyone is familiar with the Grease story, and many Grease ticket holders come to see the show again and again.
What the Critics Say to Grease Ticket Holders
Depending on the specific performance, critics may either love or hate the show, or find a happy medium somewhere between. Nearly all agree that Grease is one of the best-loved musicals of all times, which is why it returns to the stage to delight Grease ticket holders time and time again.
Where to Purchase Grease Tickets
Currently Grease tickets are available for the touring company that is traveling England, with stops at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre and Milton Keynes Theatre coming up next month. There are additional dates and locations throughout the summer, but no current plans to bring this production back to the United States.
