Grease, Nov. 21, 7 pM, Oconomowoc Arts Center
Grease is the word! Join other Vagabonds at this classic musical at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21 in the Oconomowoc Arts Center, 641 East Forest St.
It’s 1959, and bad-boy Danny Zuko and sweet new-girl-in-town Sandy Dumbrowski just shared a summer romance. Now they return to Rydell High for their senior year, navigating friendships, romance and peer pressure.
Set against the idealism of the ‘50s, Grease explores the age-old desire of high schoolers to be rebellious, provocative and independent. Grease opened on Broadway in 1971 and introduced several hit songs, including "Greased Lightnin' " and "We Go Together,” ultimately leading to the film adaptation in 1978, with “Hopelessly Devoted to You" and “Sandy.”
We will plan an optional dinner before the show at Maxim’s Oconomowoc Depot, 115 Collins St.
Tickets are $19. We have 10 of them ordered but probably could get more, so we will start a waitlist if needed. Any questions, contact Denise Kremel, (262) 349-3442, or Dan Heidemann, (414) 416-1678.
