An icon of contemporary popular culture
Danny Zuko and Sandy Olson. A romance at the end of summer. The T-Birds and the Pink Ladies. The spiked leather jackets. Hair polished by gel. The fast food. Car racing. The drive-in. The cheerleaders. The conflicts of adolescence, friendship and love. Frenchy and Rizo…
50 years -in 2021- from its theatrical premiere in Chicago and 45 years from its film version in 1978, Grease, with its cotton candy, its contagious vitality and its always electric and agitated hips, has left a trail of good and catchy songs, with unforgettable choreographies and the glorification of a certain American youth that has rightly entered the great encyclopedia of contemporary popular culture.
Grease. The Musical returns us to the last splendor of the Rydell High Institute in the throes of America at the end of the 50s before the great hippie shake-up of the 60s. And it does so with an overwhelming and resounding show billed by SOM Produce, the largest Spanish company producer of musicals, with the same team that succeeded in his adaptation of Billy Elliot. A powerful musical full of acrobatic choreography that will bring back the taste of the movie. Exuding dynamism and charm. With energy and intelligence. With a staging that will only invite you to dance.
Between December 13 and 17, with 8 performances, in an attractive family program capable of bringing together the young viewers who in 1978 admired it on the cinema screen with today's adolescents who face and enjoy the same timeless issues that then -love, friendship...-, Grease returns , if it ever left.
