In the summer of 1959, greaser Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski enjoy a sweet summer romance and part ways believing they will never meet again. When Sandy unexpectedly enrols at Rydell High and reunites with Danny, their relationship becomes far more complicated. Determined to maintain his tough reputation with the Burger Palace Boys, Danny downplays his feelings for Sandy, whilst Sandy struggles to find her place among the gum-smacking Pink Ladies. As friendships, rivalries, and teenage dreams collide, the students of Rydell navigate love, identity, and growing up. Bursting with rock ’n’ roll energy and iconic songs like “Greased Lightnin’,” “Summer Nights,” and “We Go Together,” GREASE has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals and an exuberant celebration of young love, teenage rebellion, and the electrifying spirit of the 1950s.
Standard licences issued by TRW for the musical GREASE do not include the additional songs written for the film (The “Movie Song Pack”). Should you wish to include these four (4) film songs, “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Grease,” and “Sandy,” in your performance, you can purchase the Movie Song Pack listed on your TRW License Agreement in the optional extra resource section. Please note: The Movie Song Pack songs are to be used in your performance as follows: “Grease” is added without replacing any song (it slots in at the beginning); “Sandy” replaces “Alone at the Drive-In Movie”; “Hopelessly Devoted to You” replaces “It’s Raining on Prom Night”; and “You’re the One That I Want” replaces “All Choked Up.”
All songs from GREASE are authorised for performance only as part of the full musical under license solely from TRW. Individual songs or excerpts from GREASE may not be licensed through any other third-parties or performed separately in any manner whatsoever.

THE PINK LADIES — The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls’ gang who hang around with the Burger Palace Boys.
BETTY RIZZO — Female, High School Teen. Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable. (Alto A3–C5)
FRENCHY — Female, High School Teen. A dreamer; good-natured but not too smart, she is heavily made up, fussy about her appearance, particularly her hair. She can’t wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician. (Alto, A3–D5)
MARTY — Female, High School Teen. The ‘beauty’ of the Pink Ladies; pretty and looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated. (Alto, C4–C5)
JAN — Female, High School Teen. Funny, loud, and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys. (Alto, A3-C5)
THE BURGER PALACE BOYS — A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers… or so they think.
DOODY — Male, High School Teen. The youngest of the guys; small, boyish, and open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshipping attitude towards the other guys. He also plays the guitar. (Tenor, D4-A5)
KENICKIE — Male, High School Teen. The second in command of the Burger Palace Boys; tough-looking, tattooed, surly, and avoids any show of softness. He has an offbeat sense of humor. (Tenor, C4–F5)
