Classic production revs up its run on stage.
To celebrate World Theatre Day on March 27 (or the days before and after!), theater goers needn’t go far for a taste of live stage performances. And if there is any story that lends itself to musical theater, it’s Grease, showing now through October 4 (times vary) at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, 501 W. 78th St., Chanhassen.
While notably set during the 1950s, the show’s themes resonate with generations of teenagers with tales as old as time—love, peer pressure and all the excitement and travails that go along with high school life. Take a trip to Rydell High, and bop along to the rhythms of Greased Lightnin’, Summer Nights, We Go Together and a crowd favorite Beauty School Dropout.
With music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs, Warren Casey and John Farrar and book by Jacobs and Casey, the production hits on all cylinders to create the essence of the time period while staying relevant to today’s audiences.
Come for the musical but arrive even earlier for drinks, dinner and dessert.
