*GREASE:  *The story of Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed,
hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink
Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the
1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new girl
Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as
the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as
"Greased Lightnin'," "It's Raining on Prom Night," recalling the music of
Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack
of a generation. Grease has continued to be a popular show with the hit
movie starring John Travolta, and several Broadway revivals!



*DANNY ZUKO: Male, High School Teen*

The leader of the Burger Palace Boys; good-looking, strong and confident,
with an air of easy-going charm.

*SANDY DUMBROWSKI: Female, High School Teen*

New girl in town; sweet, wholesome, naive, cute, and innocent.

*BETTY RIZZO: Female, High School Teen *

Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable.

*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.

*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.

*JAN: Female, High School Teen *

Funny, loud, compulsive eater, and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud
and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.

*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.

*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.

*SONNY LATIERRI: Male, High School Teen *

A member of the Burger Palace Boys; funny Italian-American, he is a
braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer

*ROGER: Male, High School Teen *

The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type of boy; a clown who enjoys winding
people up, he is full of mischief and is always dreaming up half-baked
schemes and ideas.

*VINCE FONTAINE: Male*

A typical 'teen audience' disc jockey; slick, egotistical and fast-talking.
He is also a veteran 'Greaser.'

*CHA-CHA, aka CHARLENE DIGREGORIO: Female, High School Teen *

The best dancer at St. Bernadette's; a loud mouth, she wins the dancing
competition with Danny.

*EUGENE FLORCZYK: Male, High School Teen *

The class valedictorian; physically awkward, with weak eyes and a
high-pitched voice. He's a typical 'apple-polisher' - both smug and
pompous, but gullible.

*JOHNNY CASINO: Male, High School Teen *

All-American, rock-star “greaser” student at Rydell High, whose real name
is Clarence.

*MISS LYNCH: Female, High School Teacher *

A no-nonsense, serious, loud English teacher.

*PATTY SIMCOX: Female, High School Teen *

A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be
given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and
unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton.

*TEEN ANGEL: Male*

Frenchy's suave and slick guardian angel, who encourages her to stay in
school.

*ENSEMBLE- *Various high school students at Rydell High, employees at the
Burger Place, Angels, etc.
