Burlington High School is excited to announce it will
perform Grease March 21, 22, 28 and
29 at 7:30 pm and March 30 at 2:00 pm. All performances will take place in the
Fogelberg Performing Arts Center of the high school.
An 8-year run on Broadway and two successful revivals make Grease one of the world's best-loved
musical comedies. The iconic musical about life at Rydell High in 1959,
“Grease” transports the audience back to a time when hot rods, bobby sox and
pedal pushers were all the rage and The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds ruled. Memorable songs include "Summer
Nights," "Greased Lightning," "Beauty School Dropout,"
"Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee," and “We Go Together.”
Grease cast
members are led by Brooke Hindle as Sandy and Mike Garcia as Danny. Also
featured are Mikayla Merrill-Withycombe
as Rizzo, Kristina Ayanian as Marty, Emily Bertolami as Frenchy, Rebecca Lerman
as Jan, Rachel Seeley as a Pink Lady/Radio Singer, Ashley Shafman as Patty,

Also, Keith Walker as Kenickie, Steven Gelbert as Doody,
Xavier Little as Johnny Casino, Harry Lane as Roger, Jonathan Chellali as Sony,
