Grease, School Version (Samuel French Acting Edition)

Product Information

Grease opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on May 11, 1994, and ran to 1998. The Grease Broadway cast included Rosie O'Donnell as Rizzo, Megan Mullally as Marty, and Billy Porter as Teen Angel. Okay, here's a little tune called "Anything"! (Band plays instrumental "stroll." Marty, Jan and Frenchy, Vince, Roger and Doody form lines as Danny and Patty come through center.) Patty I can't imagine you ever having danced with Sandy like this. Danny Whattaya mean? Patty I mean her being so clumsy and all. She can't even twirl a baton right. In fact, I've been thinking of having a little talk with the coach about her. Danny Yeah we got a surprise for ya. (PINK LADIES shove SANDY towards DANNY) Sandy (Surprised and nervous.) Hello, Danny Danny A version of the play is available that keeps some of the adult references and innuendo but excises some of the more explicit lyrics. Grease opened off-Broadway at the Eden Theatre on 14 Feb. 1972, and was considered a "Broadway" show due to its contracts. Grease received seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.

PATTY SIMCOX - A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton. Grease Roger Nah, it's neat! I even mooned old Lady Lynch once. I hung one on her right out the car window. And she never, even knew who it was. Why? Whatta you care? Look, I gotta cut. I'm in the middle of a race now. See ya' later. (Danny starts off.)

Because of changes to the musical that have been made since the 1978 film, several variants exist. In the event two songs are listed at any given point, the first is from the 1972 Off-Broadway version, and the second is from revivals that use the film music, such as the 2007 version.) Frenchy – A dreamer; good-natured but not too smart. She is heavily made up, fussy about her appearance, particularly her hair. She can't wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician.

DANNY ZUKO - The leader of the Burger Palace Boys; good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm. You goin' with a Japanese? Marty He ain't a Japanese, stupid. He's a Marine. And, a real doll, too. Frenchy Oh, wow! Hey, Marty, can he get me one of those things? It is the night of the school dance where everyone is having fun dancing in the gym ("Shakin' At the High School Hop"). Sandy is at home by herself, listening to the radio and crying over how much she misses Danny ("It's Raining on Prom Night"). But in the school version, the 2 songs were set differently. THE BURGER PALACE BOYS - A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers... or so they think. Grease (Song comes on radio. Sandy sings lead vocal with the radio voice in harmony.) Radio Voice. SHE WAS DEPRIVED OF A YOUNG GIRL'S DREAM BY THE CRUEL FORCE OF NATURE FROM THE BLUE Sandy and Radio Voice. INSTEAD OF A NIGHT FULL OF ROMANCE SUPREME ALL SHE GOT WAS A RUNNY NOSE AND ASIATIC FLU IT'S RAINING ON PROM NIGHT YOUR HAIR IS A MESS IT'S RUNNING ALL OVER YOUR TAFFETA DRESS IT'S WILTING THE QUILTING IN YOUR MAIDENFORM AND MASCARA FLOWS, RIGHT DOWN YOUR NOSE BECAUSE OF THE STORM YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A CORSAGE, OH GEE IT FELL DOWN A SEWER WITH YOUR SISTER'S I.D. (Sandy talks verse while Radio Voice continues to sing.)Scene 5 Guys come running on out of breath, and carrying quarts of beer and four hubcaps. Danny has a tire iron. Danny I don't know why I brought this tire iron! I coulda yanked these babies off with my bare hands. Sonny Sure ya could, Zuko! I just broke six fingernails! Roger Hey, you guys, these hubcaps ain't got a scratch on 'em. They must be worth two beans a piece easy. Doody No kiddin'? Hey, how much can we get for these dice? (Pulls out foam rubber dice.)
