Grease
Book, Music and Lyrics by
Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey
with additional Songs by John Farrar

January 28 - March 5, 2005

Grease is the word! BRT will open its fifth season with the first locally produced, professional production of Jim Jacobs' and Warren Casey's Grease. A high-energy, nostalgic romp through the late 1950s, Grease is the modern-classic tale of girl gets boy, girl loses boy, and with the help of some skin-tight pedal-pushers, girl gets boy again. Suitable for all ages, this production will include all the favorite Grease tunes, including those penned by John Farrar for the 1978 film version ("Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're The One That I Want").

Directed by Lewis Kempfer
Musical Direction by Jamey Green
Choreography by Lori Ellis
Costume Design by Cat Eberwine
