 | Grease is a musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. It takes its name from the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as the greasers. The musical, set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in Chicago, focuses on the romance between high schoolers Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski and tackles such social issues as teenage pregnancy and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence and, to some extent, class consciousness/class conflict. The show's score celebrates '50s rock and roll as well as doo-wop and other contemporary styles. |
| The show became the longest-running Broadway musical in history, until it was beaten by "A Chorus Line," and went on to become a West End hit, a hugely successful film, a popular 1994 Broadway revival, and a staple of regional theatre, summer stock, community theatre, and high school and middle school drama groups.

Sommer night (Film) - John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John Sommer night (Broadway) - Max Crumm & Laura Osnes Lyrics: Summer Nights Summer lovin' had me a blast Summer lovin' happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights Uh Well-a well-a well-a huh Tell me more, tell me more Did you get very far? Tell me more, tell me more Like does he have a car? Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh She swam by me, she got a cramp He ran by me, got my suit damp I saved her life, she nearly drowned He showed off, splashing around Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights Uh well-a well-a well-a huh Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put up a fight? Uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh Took her bowling in the arcade We went strolling, drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed out 'till ten o'clock Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights Uh well-a well-a well-a huh Tell me more, tell me more But you don't gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more Because he sounds like a drag shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop,shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, YEH He got friendly, holding my hand While she got friendly down in the sand He was sweet, just turned eighteen Well she was good you know what I mean Woah! Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights woo, woo, woo Tell me more, tell me more How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more Could she get me a friend? It turned colder - that's where it ends So I told her we'd still be friends Then we made our true love vow Wonder what she's doing now Summer dreams ripped at the seams, bu-ut oh, those su-ummer nights.... Tell me more, tell me more! | |
