Submitted by the Quebec Art Company
The Quebec Art Company jumps and jives back to the 1950s with its production of the hit musical Grease.
Rydell High could be any high school in North America in 1959, with kids singing and dancing their way through the challenges of growing up and dealing with desire and romance.
Featuring familiar tunes such as “Summer Nights” and “Greased Lightning” and hits borrowed from the movie version like “Hopelessly Devoted To You” and “You’re the One That I Want,” Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion.
