Grease Tickets - See A Film Legend Live On Stage
Author: Jay Nault  | Posted: 19-03-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 38 | Rating: (62)  (?) 
When you mention "Grease tickets" to someone, chances are they'll think you're heading towards a night of seeing the classic film. However, the legendary show is set for another run in theaters, and it's garnering the same rave reviews in this medium as it did originally. The story is timeless in nature, and below we'll take a look at the story and how it came to be one of the most popular productions in the theater today.
About the Story
The story of Grease is an introspective look at the subculture of high school in the United States in the 1950's, and the name of the story is taken from the "greasers" who permeated the time. Greasers were known as "tough guys" from the wrong side of the tracks, and there are several themes that are explored through the character development that's an integral part of the delivery.
These social themes include gang violence, teenage pregnancy, adolescent love, friendship, sexual discovery and class conflict. Each of these themes is relevant today, and the story is set at the fictional Rydell High School in Chicago. The plot is quite intricate, and rather than telling you how it is resolved, you'd be better served getting Grease tickets for yourself and enjoying the story live.
Production History
It may come as a surprise to many that Grease was actually first performed as a live musical before being converted to film in 1978. The first run of the story occurred in 1971 in Chicago. The play was a huge success, so the producers decided to refine it a bit for a move to New York.
Grease opened the following year off-Broadway, and once again, box office sales were brisk, prompting yet another "move up" in venue for the story, and on June 7, 1972, Grease ran for the first time on Broadway. It was another successful run, as the show played to packed houses for 3,388 performances in New York, finally closing in 1980.
During this time, the wildly-successful film was released, bringing the story to the masses. The film and its predecessors led to many revivals and performances by different production companies all over the world, and no matter where it played, Grease was a sought-after ticket on the theater market.
After a few years under the radar, Grease is set to open for another run in June of 2007. If you have yet to see this ageless story, get your Grease tickets now for the latest revival of this all-time classic.
