'Grease' @ Plays-in-the-Park (EDISON)

[Our plan is to get in line at 5, put our chairs down after buying our tickets at 5:30, and then grab dinner nearby before the show which starts at 8. You can also bring picnic food. There are picnic tables and lots of room to throw a frisbee before the show.]

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.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for chairs to be set up and the show will start at 8:00 p.m. Patrons still bring their own chairs with a back no higher than 40 inches (ex: folding chairs, soccer chairs, etc.).

Ticket price is $8.00 per adult; $5.00 per senior citizen 60 and over, children twelve (12) and under enter for free with a ticket stub. There are no refunds for any reason.

They accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover credit cards at the box office.

The box office closes at 8:30 p.m. each show night.
