Ken Waissman is a Tony Award -winning American Theatre producer. A playwright, also known as a dramatist, is a person who writes dramatic literature or Drama.

Synopsis

Act I

In 1959, Rydell High School's rebellious, happy, thrill-loving students start a new year. The year 1959 ( MCMLIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The "greasers" are comprised of the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies ("Alma Mater Parody"). The start of the new school year means lousy food ("You want my coleslaw?") and dreaded teachers ("I got Old Lady Lynch for English again. She hates my guts. "). The Pink Ladies sit on one side of the lunchroom, and the Burger Palace Boys sit on the other.

There's a new girl at school, Sandy Dumbrowski. She and the leader of the Burger Palace Boys, Danny Zuko, had a brief love affair the summer before, but the summer ended for them with unresolved feelings. In describing the fling to the Pink Ladies (Jan, Marty, Frenchy, and Betty Rizzo), Sandy focuses on the emotional attachment she and Danny had, while Danny, brags to the Boys (Roger, Doody, Sonny, and Kenickie) about the physical aspects of their relationship ("Summer Nights"). Sandy and Danny soon bump into each other at school, and while Sandy is happy to see Danny, he blows her off, pretending to be too cool. Rock star wannabe Doody gives an impromptu concert in the hall ("Those Magic Changes"). "Those Magic Changes" was song written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey used in both Grease the musical and the film version.

At Marty's pajama party, the girls experiment with wine, cigarettes and pierced ears, and talk about boys. Marty tells about her long-distance courtship with a Marine ("Freddy, My Love"). Meanwhile, the Burger Palace Boys are busy stealing hubcaps and teasing Kenickie about his new (used) car ("Greased Lightnin'").

Danny sees Sandy again and tries to apologize for his behavior, but she is hurt to find out that he has told his friends that she is "easy. " Head cheerleader Patty Simcox interrupts to prompt Sandy to join the squad and to tease Danny about his latest indiscretions. The kids take their newfangled portable radios for a rock and roll picnic in the park and plan how they'll pair off at the upcoming school dance, while Roger shares his love for Jan and his favorite hobby ("Mooning"). Rizzo teases Danny for falling for a girl who resembles the excessively proper teenage ingenue, Sandra Dee ("Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee"). Sandy realizes that Danny is putting her off to be cool and wishes she had never met him.

Then the guys suggest that Marty to go out with Eugene, and she chases after them. The kids declare that they'll "always be together" ("We Go Together").

Act II

At the High School Hop, everyone is dancing, except Sandy. She's home feeling sorry for herself ("It's Raining on Prom Night"). Meanwhile the favorite radio DJ of the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies, Vince Fontaine, is the MC at the dance, which takes place in the gym. He's warming the kids up for a dance contest. Kenickie dumps his blind date and pairs off with his usual girl, Rizzo. Danny enters the contest with Kenickie's cast-off, Cha-Cha DeGregorio, and they win ("Born to Hand Jive").

A few days later at the Burger Palace after school, a couple of the guys run into Frenchy who flunked out of Rydell and has now dropped out of beauty school having failed all her classes. ("Beauty School Dropout"). Danny, who has taken up track in order to win back Sandy's affections, doesn't know that the guys have been challenged to a rumble by Cha-Cha's boyfriend's gang. He's more concerned about patching things up with Sandy at the Twi-Light Drive In, but he moves too fast for her, and she leaves ("All Alone at a Drive-In Movie"). The "greasers" are having a party, as Doody and Roger sing "Rock and Roll Party Queen. " Rizzo is worried that she's pregnant, but she's so mad at Kenickie that she tells him he's not the father. Rizzo rejects the kids' offers of help, especially Sandy's ("There Are Worse Things I Could Do"). Sandy wonders what she needs to do to fit in at Rydell ("Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" (Reprise)).

The next time Sandy meets up with the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies, she has transformed herself into a greaser's dream date, leaving Danny "All Choked Up. " Rizzo is relieved to learn that she isn't pregnant, and she and Kenickie reunite. All ends happily ("We Go Together" (Reprise)).
