Grease is still the word, long after the 1950s
Turn back the hands of time to 1959 as the musical Grease slides into town in a new production at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. Grease will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. April 16, 2 and 7:30 p.m. April 17, and 2 and 7 p.m. April 18.

Grease, one of Broadway’s longest running musicals, takes a funny and musical look at growing up in the’50s with a gang of boys in black-leather jackets and girls in white bobby socks and pedal pushers. It features the classic rock ‘n’ roll sounds of the ’50s with songs including “We Go Together,” “Beauty School Dropout” and “It’s Raining on Prom Night,” as well as three songs from the movie: “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re The One That I Want” and “Grease.”
Laurie Lessman of the Lincoln Community Playhouse and Matt Landis, a local actor and musician featured in several Playhouse productions, will give a talk 30 minutes before each performance in the Lied’s Steinhart Room.
Tickets for these performances are $45, $39 and $35; tickets are half-price for college students and those 18 and under. Call the Lied box office at 472-4747 or (800) 432-3231 for tickets.
